Github Directory for UCSB Network Data Science Boot Camp ({{ site.current_term }})

{% include students.html %}

Add yourself

Introduce yourself via a GITHUB_USERNAME.json file under the [_data/{{ site.current_term }}/](https://github.com/{{ site.git_owner }}/{{ site.git_repo }}/tree/gh-pages/_data/{{ site.current_term }}) directory, and submit via pull request. Remember to first fork your own copy of the repository [{{ site.git_owner }}/{{ site.git_repo }}](https://github.com/{{ site.git_owner }}/{{ site.git_repo }}) so that you can write the file to the repo before submitting the pull request.

Here's an example file at [_data/{{ site.current_term }}/bbest.json](https://github.com/{{ site.git_owner }}/{{ site.git_repo }}/tree/gh-pages/_data/{{ site.current_term }}/bbest.json)

{
	"department": "MSI, NCEAS (consultant)",
	"interests": "marine biodiversity, ocean health",
	"project": "",
	"project_url": ""
}

Using the format above, replace with your own department and interests. We'll update project and project_url later once you've decided on a project and have a project URL.

Details

The details of how this works (using Jekyll data files) are beyond the scope of this boot camp, but provides a simple satisfying example for applying the fork & pull request model to a repository for which you do not have write permissions and want to contribute towards.

This technique is borrowed from advanced-js/students: "student directory, for practicing doing pull requests".
