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.
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.
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
You should have:
- a website in the
workshopfolder - slides in the
slideshowfolder
