Getting Started

Edits to the lab Wiki are restricted to lab members

For brand new users, follow these steps to get started:

1. Make a GitHub account
2. Email Richard ([email protected]) asking for contributor access. Be sure to include your GitHub user name
3. There are two ways to edit the Wiki:
   • Using GitHub's online WYSIWYG editor
   • Cloning the markdown files on your local system and editing them locally

To clone the lab wiki, enter this command in a terminal NOTE: This assumes:

• You already have Git installed on your local machine
• You are working in the directory where you would like to clone the lab wiki (e.g., your home directory)
• You have already set up SSH keys for your GitHub account

$ git clone [email protected]:https://github.com/cogcommscience-lab/lab-docs.wiki.git

Quick Tips

GitHub uses a special flavor of markdown. It is easy to use, but here is a great guide with examples of most everything you will need.

If you want to link to a specific Wiki page, this is easy. Just type [This Page Title](/cogcommscience-lab/lab-docs/wiki/This-Page-Title). This will link you to a page with "This Page Title".

If you figure out how to do something cool, please add it (and the relevant GitHub repo and notebooks) to the Wiki!
