Requirements

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Install Hugo locally.

Create your project

If you haven't already, make a copy of this entire directory and rename it something descriptive, similar to the title of your workshop.

cp -R Aws-workshop-template/ my-first-worshop/

What's Included

This project the following folders:

  • deck: The location to store your presentation materials, if not already stored centrally in a system like KnowledgeMine or Wisdom.
  • resources: Store any example code, IAM policies, or Cloudformation templates needed by your workshop here.
  • workshop: This is the core workshop folder. This is generated as HTML and hosted for presentation for customers.

Navigate to the workshop directory

All command line directions in this documentation assume you are in the workshop directory. Navigate there now, if you aren't there already.

cd my-first-workshop/workshop

Create your first chapter page

Chapters are pages that contain other child pages. It has a special layout style and usually just contains a brief abstract of the section.

Discover what this template is all about and the core concepts behind it.

This template provides archetypes to create skeletons for your workshop. Begin by creating your first chapter page with the following command

cd workshop
hugo new --kind chapter intro/_index.en.md

By opening the given file, you should see the property chapter=true on top, meaning this page is a chapter.

By default all chapters and pages are created as a draft. If you want to render these pages, remove the property draft = true from the metadata.

Create your first content pages

Then, create content pages inside the previously created chapter. Here are two ways to create content in the chapter:

hugo new intro/first-content.en.md
hugo new intro/second-content/_index.en.md

Feel free to edit thoses files by adding some sample content and replacing the title value in the beginning of the files.

Launching the website locally

Launch by using the following command:

hugo serve

Go to http://localhost:1313

You should notice three things:

  1. You have a left-side Intro menu, containing two submenus with names equal to the title properties in the previously created files.
  2. The home page explains how to customize it by following the instructions.
  3. When you run hugo serve, when the contents of the files change, the page automatically refreshes with the changes. Neat!

Alternatively, you can run the following command in a terminal window to tell Hugo to automatically rebuild whenever a file is changed. This can be helpful when rapidly iterating over content changes.

hugo serve -D
