Add People

In order to add your personal profile you must include a new file (.md) file in _posts/people/.

Firstly make sure your local main branch is up to date:

$ git checkout main
$ git pull origin main

Then create a new branch (do not make changes directly on main). To branch use the commands git branch <name> and git checkout <name>.

Name the branch as add-people-your_last_name. For example:

$ git branch add-people-glynatsi
$ git checkout add-people-glynatsi

Once you have branched create a new .md file in _posts/people/. The name of the file should follow the format year-month-day-your_last_name.md where:

year is the year you joined the group
month is the month you joined the group
day is the day you joined the group (roughly)

For example:

_posts/people/2020-09-22-Glynatsi.md

The English and Japanese people index pages are generated from the files in _posts/people/, so you do not need to edit people/index.md or ja/people/index.md when adding or updating a person.

The year-month-day-your_last_name.md should have the following format:

Header

The beginning of the file should include the following lines were you alter the title, excerpt, role_order and teaser with your information.

---
layout: people
title: <your name>
excerpt: <your position>
role_order: <number>
categories: current
tags:
image:
  path: *image
  teaser: <your picture>
---

role_order controls the display order for people who share the same join date. Lower numbers appear first. For example:

1 for team director
2 for research scientist
3 for postdoctoral researcher pr JSPS PD researcher

For the teaser you will need to give the name of your profile picture. Include your picture in the images folder.

For example in images folder there is a picture named Glynatsi.jpg, thus teaser: Glynatsi.jpg.

An example of a Header:

---
layout: people
title: Dr Nikoleta E. Glynatsi
excerpt: Research Scientist
role_order: 3
categories: current
tags:
image:
  path: *image
  teaser: Glynatsi.jpg
---

Once you have added your personal md file check the locally hosted website to view the changes.

When you are ready you need to git add the files you changed or added, then git commit, and finally push your branch to GitHub:

$ git push -u origin add-people-your_last_name

After pushing, your branch should appear on GitHub. Open a pull request from your branch into main.
