Team Members

Navigate to the /_members folder in this repository and add a new file to create your bio.

If you are a full member, you can make these changes using GitHub Codespaces. Details on how to do this from a "fork" instead are archived at the end of this page.

In terms of profile page specifics, you should use the below example or the example of another member in the lab. You should name your file with the file with your name (e.g., easton-white.md) which will then generate a webpage at https://rheoinformatic.com/members/easton-white.html. You will also want to add an profile picture in the /images folder.

Example:

---
name: Tim Member
image: images/team/some-image.jpg
role: grad
group: current
description: PhD Student
aliases:
  - T Member
  - T. Member
  - Timothy Member
links:
  home-page: https://tims-website.com/
  email: tim-member@email.com
  twitter: tims_twitter
---

Making changes via "fork"

If you do not have full access to this repo as a memeber of the PRO-CF Github Organization, then the first time you want to contribute to the website you will need to "fork" the repository (you won't need to do this again). This fork is a personal copy of the website into your own Github account. You can then make edits or add files in your forked version of the repository. Once you have finished your changes, head to the pull request tab and click the new pull request button. Be sure to make a pull request on the main website repository as opposed to your forked version. You will then be able to request your changes be included in the main website's repo. This pull request notifies us of the request. Don't forget to also update your own repository once the pull request is fulfilled. To do this, click on the Fetch Upstream button found in your forked version and it will update your branch with the newest up to date version. This will make future pull requests easier to navigate.
