Main project repo for Death by Numbers, a project on the London Bills of Mortality. This is our "monorepo" of all content related to the project. These are broken down into a few different areas (please consult these directory's individual READMEs for more information.)
- bom-data: Data files (CSVs, Excel files, and shapefiles) and exports from the transcribed bills of mortality.
- bom-db: The Vue application that creates the web GUI for the database.
- bom-processing: R and Python Scripts, database migrations, and scripts for making maps.
- bom-website: The website for deathbynumbers.org, built with the static-site generator Hugo and custom dbn theme.
For project members wishing to update the website, but not have to clone the entire repository, here are the steps to follow.
- Open Terminal. From here, navigate to where you'd like the directory to
live (e.g.,
cd ~/Dropbox/work). - From here, you'll do a sparse checkout.
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/chnm/bom
- Change into the cloned directory (
cd bom). The folder should be empty. - Now, you can grab the website files:
git sparse-checkout set bom-website
