GDI Chicago Slides Template

These slides are built using Yeoman, with the Reveal generator. It will compile your Sass (located in css/source) automatically.

If you add a new Sass file that isn't a partial, you need to edit the Gruntfile. You'll see examples of where this change needs to be made.

Getting started

Download a zip of the tagged release you want to use. I always recommend the most recent, but there may be different versions.

Unzip the file and place the contents in the Git repo of the class you're creating.

This repository includes a .gitignore that you should really keep. Its contents:

node_modules
*.log
.sass-cache

Note: the bower_components folder isn't ignored. This is commonly ignored, but this template is designed to be packaged and uploaded as-is without any special tweaks (other than creating slides).

You should have npm and Sass (Ruby gem) installed already.

$ npm install -g yeoman
$ npm install -g generator-reveal
$ npm install

And then you're ready.

Usage

To add a new (HTML) slide:

$ yo reveal:slide "Slide name"

If you want to use Markdown:

$ yo reveal:slide "Slide Title" --markdown

To watch:

$ grunt server

To compile for distribution (slideshow folder):

$ grunt dist

End result

You should have:

• a website in the workshop folder
• slides in the slideshow folder
