RANews checklist

System Requirements

• Have Jekyll installed. Note: If you're familiar with docker, you don't need to install Jekyll.
• Have a way to run a bash script (native on Linux/MacOS, requires some tweaks on Windows).
• Have a git client installed.
• Optional but suggested: Visual Studio Code (makes git commands easier)

Steps to release a new RANews issue

• create a dirs /_issues/yyyy-mm/ and the img subdir

• get the cover.png and put it in /_issues/yyyy-mm/img

• change the front-matter of the /index.html, putting the current issue's dir in the currentIssue variable. Example: currentIssue: /issues/2021-09/

• get from Hotscrock the txt file with data for RnR, Hotcheevs and ArtUpdates.

  • run the generate-articles.sh script with the txt file to generate the 3 articles.
