This is the repository for the Carpentry instructor training taking place from 21 - 23 February 2018 in South Africa
# workshop-template
This repository is [Software Carpentry][swc-site] and [Data Carpentry][dc-site]'s
template for creating websites for instructor training workshops.
1. Please *do not fork this repository directly on GitHub.*
Instead, please use GitHub's importer following 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][github-project-pages].
3. Once you are done,
please **send your repository's URL to the [Software Carpentry administrator][contact]**.
We build the list of workshops on our websites from the data included in your `index.html` page.
We can only do that if you [customize][customization] that page correctly
*and* send us a link to your workshop website.
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.
