How to contribute to this wiki
Create a github account and join the NBMG organization
- Create a github user account at (github.com)[github.com]
- Once you have done so, send an email to eodean@unr.edu with your github username.
- You will then receive an invite to join the “wiki-collaborators” group within the NBMG github organization. Once you have accepted the invite, you can then contribute.
If you want to contribute but do not want to make a github account, you can send text that you want included in the wiki to eodean@unr.edu.
How to edit content
- From the page that you wish to edit, click “Edit” in the top right corner.
- Edit the page in markdown. You can also click the “preview changes” tab to see how your page will look before committing your changes.
- Once you are finished, add a title and a description of your changes. (e.g. title - “editing wiki”. description - “removed text about editing a wiki from the ‘add content’ section, created a new ‘edit content’ section”)
- Make sure “Commit directly to the
master
branch” is selected.
- Press the green “Commit changes” button.
How to add content (after creating a github account)
- Go to nbmg-unr.github.io
- Click “Add new post.”
- This will take you to an editor window on github. Add a file name at the top of the post (no spaces, ex. “test_post.md”). All names must end with the “md” description.
- Type your content in to the box. All of the content needs to be written in (markdown)[https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/]. If you already have a word document that you’d like to post, you can use a (word to markdown converter)[https://word2md.com/].
- Click on the “preview” tab to make sure the content looks how you want it to look.
- Add a “commit message” - a description of the content that you are posting.
- Choose the “commit directly to master branch” option, then press “commit new file.”
- To add your new file to the table of contents, you may directly edit the sidebar.html file (https://github.com/NBMG-UNR/NBMG-UNR.github.io/blob/master/_includes/nav/sidebar.html - click on the pencil icon to edit) and add your post under the appropriate section using html. The structure should be as follows:
<li><a href="/your_file_name_here.html">Your title here</a></li>
Note that the extension in this link says “html” instead of md.
Alternatively, you can email eodean@unr.edu and ask that a link be added for your file.
