GitHub and Government

🌍 Open Government Innovation with GitHub

Gather, curate, and feature stories of people using GitHub as part of their open government initiatives.

This site is open source ([view all the code!](https://github.com/github/government.github.com)) and serves as a collaborative tool for and by the community.

💡 Submit [issues](https://github.com/github/government.github.com/issues/new) and [pull requests](https://github.com/github/government.github.com/compare/) to share stories, suggest site improvements, or fix errors.

🎯 Goals

✅ Share real-world experiences using GitHub in open government projects
✅ Demystify open-source terminology
✅ Showcase community efforts, promoting collaboration between individuals and organizations
✅ Make getting started with GitHub easier

⚙️ Under the Hood

This site is built using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com), an open-source static site generator. Jekyll converts our content into HTML files, which are then hosted on [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/). All the content is maintained on the [gh-pages](https://github.com/github/government.github.com/tree/gh-pages) branch.

🏗️ Setting Up Locally

Run this site on your computer as if it were live online!

📌 Requirements

• [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/)
• [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
• [Git](https://git-scm.com/)
• A JavaScript runtime ([Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en))

If you have installed [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com), Git was also installed automatically.

🔧 Steps to Set Up Locally

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/github/government.github.com.git
cd government.github.com

# Install dependencies
script/bootstrap

# Start the local server
script/server

🌐 Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser

🚀 Deploying

government.github.com follows a two-repo approach:

• Production: [github/government.github.com](https://github.com/github/government.github.com/) (this repository)
• Staging: [government/staging](https://ghe.io/government/staging)

🏗 Deploying to Staging

For larger changes, deploy to staging first:

script/stage staging

This will generate the site and push it to the staging repo (https://ghe.io/government/staging).

🔐 Authentication

You'll need to authenticate via GitHub in the terminal. Use your GHE.io username and a [personal access token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/) instead of a password (since we enforce 2FA).

Having trouble deploying to staging? Delete the _site directory and try again.

✅ Deploying to Production

Once your pull request is approved and merged, changes will automatically be deployed to the production site within a few minutes.
