Making the site

The template website lives at the Github repository OH-campus template. You want to make a copy of this site which you can customize. To do so, you want to "fork" the repository.

Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the page. Once the animation concludes, you should be in a new repository in your personal space (ie at url https://github.com/$YOURUSERNAME/oh-campus-template/ rather than https://github.com/openhatch/oh-campus-template/). You should also see a "forked from..." remark in the top-left.

You now want to rename the site. The naming scheme we'd like you to use is "oh-campus-$NAMEOFSCHOOL". If you were Harry Potter, you'd rename your repository to oh-campus-hogwarts. To rename the repository, go to the righthand sidebar and scroll down to settings, near the bottom. Once you click that, renaming should be the first option you're given.

While you're there, take a look at the option "collaborators" on the lefthand sidebar. It may be useful to add OpenHatch organizers @shaunagm and @paulproteus, as well as any other student organizers who might need access to the site, in case it needs to be updated quickly when you're not available.
