# The Carpentries Workshop Template
This repository is The Carpentries' ([Software Carpentry][swc-site], [Data Carpentry][dc-site], and
[Library Carpentry][lc-site]'s) template for creating websites for workshops.
1. **Please _do not fork this repository directly on GitHub._** Instead, please use GitHub's
"template" function following the instructions below to copy this
`workshop-template` repository and customize it for your workshop.
2. Please *do your work in your repository's `gh-pages` branch*, since that is what is
[automatically published as a website by GitHub][github-project-pages].
3. Once you are done, please also [let us know][email] the workshop URL. If this is a self-organised
workshop, you should also [fill in the self-organized workshop
form][self-organized-workshop-form] (if you have not already done so), so we can keep track of
all workshops. We build the list of workshops on our websites from the data included in your
`index.md` page. We can only do that if you [customize][customization] that page correctly *and*
let us know the workshop URL.
If you run into problems,
or have ideas about how to make this process simpler,
please get in touch.
The pages on [customizing your website][customization],
the [FAQ][faq],
and the [design notes][design] have more detail on what we do and why.
And please note:
if you are teaching Git,
please create a separate repository
for your learners to practice in.
