Other neat-o things

  • Created my first custom plugin
  • Shortcode for generating on-page navigation

Bummers (for me)

  • Not as clean a separation between core content and presentation as I’d like
  • Search didn’t get implemented
  • The home page is totally hard coded

#2: Capital One Design Library

Outcomes

  • Site was delivered on time, within budget
  • Content authors seemed to be able to use it
  • Not sure if it will die on the vine

GitHub Power Tips

For those who have issues

Why a presentation on GitHub?

At EightShapes we use GitHub as a primary means of communication, especially with clients.

Oh hey, these are some notes. They'll be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you open the speaker notes window (hit 's' on your keyboard).

Don’t I already know most of this?

Most of us know 60-80% of this stuff.

It’s not the same 60-80%.

Let’s all up our game.

Adding images to Wiki entries

  • You can’t drag’n’drop like Issues
  • Wikis are repos of markdown documents
  • Commit an image directory to the repo
