BCCP Website

This is a small static website for the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, built with Astro and designed for GitHub Pages.

Editing Content

Most content lives in Markdown files under src/pages/.

• src/pages/index.astro controls the home page because it has a custom layout.
• src/pages/research.md controls Research.
• src/pages/people.md controls People.
• src/pages/events.md controls Events.
• src/pages/jobs.md controls Jobs.
• src/pages/visiting.md controls Visiting.
• src/pages/donate.md controls Donate.

When editing a Markdown page, leave the block at the top in place:

---
layout: ../layouts/PageLayout.astro
title: "People"
description: "BCCP-affiliated directors, faculty, scientists, postdocs, students, alumni, and administrators."
---

Edit the content below that block.

Images live in public/images/. Anything in public/ is copied directly into the finished site, so an image at public/images/example.jpg is referenced as /images/example.jpg.

Running Locally

Install dependencies once:

npm install

Start a local preview:

npm run dev

Build the production site:

npm run build

Temporary Preview With GitHub Pages

The workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml builds and deploys the site whenever changes are pushed to the main branch.

For a temporary preview in a personal repository, create a normal GitHub repository, push this project, and enable GitHub Pages with Source set to GitHub Actions. The preview will be available at:

https://USERNAME.github.io/REPOSITORY-NAME/

For the current temporary preview plan:

https://sferraroastro.github.io/bccp-preview/

Final Publishing With bccp.berkeley.edu

For the final BCCP deployment, move the repository to the BCCP GitHub organization or create a fresh BCCP repository. Then update .github/workflows/deploy.yml:

env:
  SITE_URL: https://bccp.berkeley.edu
  SITE_BASE: /

Also add this file back:

public/CNAME

with this content:

bccp.berkeley.edu

In the GitHub repository settings:

1. Go to Settings -> Pages.
2. Set Source to GitHub Actions.
3. If using bccp.berkeley.edu, configure that as the custom domain and make sure Berkeley DNS points to GitHub Pages.
