To aid future maintenance of this website, this README will document details that have the potential to change at some point in the future.
The headers and footers for all pages are defined in the
_includes
directory.
The file to control what repositories are queried and cataloged can be found in input_lists.json.
orgs controls GitHub organizations under which all public repositories will be queried.
For example, the mantevo organization has 13 public repositories
(as of the writing of this README). All of these will be included in any query scripts
for software.sandia.gov.repos controls individual repositories.The file to control categories that appear on the homepage and the catalog search
can be found in category_info.json.
All categories require a title (as it appears on the homepage), an icon path (with appropriate
alternative text), a description, and the correlated GitHub “topic” (or topics).
For example, for a repository to show up in the BUILD TOOLS category on
software.sandia.gov, the repository must have the snl-build-tools topic
applied on GitHub. More information on GitHub topics can be found on
their online documentation.
Images are stored in the assets directory. Images from the original LLNL repository are also there for reference.
The icons and banner image were created by Sandia’s internal Creative Services team.
Updates occur nightly via a
GitHub Actions workflow.
This job requires a TOKEN_USER and SECRET_TOKEN (both secrets on the repository)
in order to run. Information on the SECRET_TOKEN requirements can be found
in the _explore README.
If the job needs to be run outside of the regular nightly cadence, a user can navigate to the Actions page and click the “Run workflow” button.
There is a possibility in the future that the nightly query will error due to GitHub request limits. As of July 2024, GitHub has an hourly limit of 5000 API requests. If the limit is hit, processing will cease until the available queries reset.
