Scripts for building the website

This folder contains several scripts for building our splash page and Jupyter Book website. At a high level, human-friendly configuration files are read and translated into HTML to post to a static website hosting server.

• build_resources.sh

  1. reads cookiecutter.yaml and runs cookiecutter to insert variables into the splash page HTML
  2. reads Jupyter Book files under the book/ directory and runs jupyter book build to render the Jupyter Book part of the website.

• yaml_tools.py and yaml2json.py are helper scripts to create intermediate json files that are required by cookiecutter
