This is the repository for the Genomics Data Carpentry workshop that will take place on 26 - 29 September at North-West University in South Africa. ======= This repository is the Data Carpentry template for creating websites for workshops. 1. Do *not* fork this repository directly on GitHub. Instead, please follow the instructions below to create a website repository 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. 3. Once you are done, please **send your repository's URL to the Data Carpentry administrator**. We build the list of workshops on the main website from the data included in your `index.html` page. We can only do that if you customize that page correctly *and* send us a link to your workshop website. 4. Please also read the notes on customizing your website and the FAQ. If you're interested in knowing more about why we do things the way we do, please check out the design notes. 5. If you are teaching Git, please create a separate repository for your learners to practice in. 6. If you run into problems, or have ideas about how to make this process simpler, please get in touch. ## Creating a Repository 1. Go to [GitHub's importer][import]. 2. Click on "Check the URL". (GitHub won't import until you've done this.) 3. Select the owner for your new repository. (This will probably be you, but may instead be an organization you belong to.) 4. Choose a name for your workshop website repository. This name should have the form `YYYY-MM-DD-site`, e.g., `2015-07-01-yale`. 5. Make sure the repository is public. 6. At this point, you should have a page like this: You can now click "Begin Import". When the process is done, you can click "Continue to repository" to visit your newly-created repository. **Note:** some people have had intermittent errors during the import process, possibly because of the network timing out. If you experience a problem, please re-try; if the problem persists, please get in touch. To clone your new repository, use: ~~~ git clone -b gh-pages git …
