Open GoPro Developer README

Current Version: 2.0

GoPro Logo

This README is for a developer who wants to modify or contribute to this repo. If you are a user (i.e. you don't want to make changes to this repo), see the Open GoPro Github Pages site. If you are just looking for demos, you can browse the demos folder here.

Overview

This repo consists of two types of content:

  • demos
  • documentation

Demos

Demos are runnable examples in various languages / frameworks and can be found in the demos folder. Demos exist, from their own perspective, independent to the Jekyll-based documentation described below. To create a demo, follow the "Contributing" section of the README in the demos folder.

Documentation

The documentation can be found in the docs directory in markdown files. It is built as a Jekyll static site and hosted via Github Pages. It consists of:

  • Interface specifications
  • Walk-through tutorials in various languages / frameworks
  • Demo documentation: This is automatically generated from the demo README's when the Jekyll site is built

The docs folder README has more detailed information on its structure and contributing. Here is an overview of documentation development.

Requirements

  • It is assumed that your environment has access to GNU or BSD tools (i.e. this will not run natively on Windows)
  • Docker must be installed
  • To edit any files tracked by .gitattributes, git-lfs must be installed

Setup

  1. Build the docker image via:
make setup

Usage

First, build and serve the site locally via:

make serve

The site can then be viewed at http://127.0.0.1:4998

Note! This is different than the address from the Jekyll CLI output

As you modify .md files in the docs repo, the changes will be mirrored to the local site when the page is refreshed. The local site is served with an "incremental" build such that only the necessary files are re-built after a change. This should work fine for modifications to .md files. However, if a sweeping change such as site-wide configuration is made, it will likely be necessary to re-build the entire site via:

make clean serve

Deployment

Github Pages serves the site from the gh-pages branch of this repo. Whenever the main branch is updated (such as via a Pull Request being merged), the "Jekyll Build and Deploy" Github Actions workflow will automatically be triggered to build the site from main and update the gh-pages branch.

Note! This process should be invisible to the developer

Copyright

All relevant source files shall contain a copyright. This is managed via the "Pre Merge Checks" Github Action. When a pull request is opened (or updated), this action will search for any missing / incorrect copyrights, add / fix them, and update the branch. If for some reason this needs to be done manually, it can be done via:

make copyright

A file can be excluded from this process by adding the following in a comment on the first line:

No (C) Copyright

Versioning

The version listed at the top of this README is the single source of versioning. Versioning / releases should be done using the "Release" workflow from the Github Actions UI
