Github workflow and info​

To work on the project you wil need a local version of the different repositories depending on what you are going to work on. Below is a short description of all the different repositories and what they are used for.

Ampersand​

The ampersand repository contains the ampersand application that compiles and builds ampersand applications.

Prototype​

The prototype repository makes sure that a ampersand application has a visual interface for the user to interact with your applications.

RAP​

The RAP repository is an ampersand application that can be used to create a new ampersand application. This app is mainly used by the Open University of the Netherlands in the course Rule Based Design.

AmpersandTarski.github.io​

The AmpersandTarski.github.io repository is used to create the docusaurus documentation webpage. It pulls the different documents from the docs folders of all the repositories. While working this way we need to make sure to work in the correct docs folders.

For Example a document that references or is meant for RAP needs to be in the RAP repository docs folder.

info

Make sure to work in the documentation branch while creating or editing documentation to prevent unnecessary usage of the pipelines.
