Computers and Terminals

A brief overview of Terminal and Linux is a step on your way to becoming a Linux expert. When a computer boots up, a kernel (MacOS, Windows, Linux) is started. This kernel is the core of the operating system and manages hardware resources. Above the kernel, various applications run, including the shell and terminal, which allow users to interact with the system using a basic set of commands provided by the kernel.

Typically, casual users interact with the system through a Desktop User Interface (UI) that is started by the computer’s boot-up processes. However, to interact directly with the shell, users can run a “terminal” application through the Desktop UI. Additionally, VS Code provides the ability to activate a “terminal” within its editing environment, making it convenient for developers to execute commands without leaving the code editor.

In this next phase, we will use a Jupyter notebook to perform Linux commands through a terminal. The Jupyter notebook is an application that runs above the kernel, providing an interactive environment for writing and executing code, including shell commands. This setup allows us to seamlessly integrate code execution, data analysis, and documentation in one place, enhancing our productivity and learning experience.

Setup a Personal GitHub Pages Project

You will be making a personal copy of the course repository. Be sure to have a GitHub account!!!

Use the Green “Use this Template” button on the portfolio_2025 repository page to set up your personal GitHub Pages repository.
Create a new repository.
Fill in the dialog and select the Repository Name to be under your GitHub ID ownership.
After this is complete, use the Green “Code” button on the newly created repository page to capture your “Project Repo” name.

In the next few code cells, we will run a bash (shell) script to pull a GitHub project.

Shell Script and Variables

We will ultimately run a bash (shell) script to pull a GitHub project. This next script simply sets up the necessary environment variables to tell the script the location of repository from GitHub and where to copy the output.

For now, focus on each line that begins with export. These are shell variables. Each line has a name (after the keyword export) and a value (after the equal sign).

Here is a full description:

Creates a temporary file /tmp/variables.sh to store environment variables.
Sets the project_dir variable to your home directory with a subdirectory named nighthawk. You can change nighthawk to a different name to test your git clone.
Sets the project variable to a subdirectory within project_dir named portfolio_2025. You can change portfolio_2025 to the name of your project.
Sets the project_repo variable to the URL of the GitHub repository. Change this to the project you created from the portfolio_2025 template.

By running this script, you will prepare your environment for cloning and working on your GitHub project. This is an essential step in setting up your development environment and ensuring that all dependencies are correctly configured.

%%script bash

# Dependency Variables, set to match your project directories

cat <<EOF > /tmp/variables.sh
export project_dir=$HOME/vscode  # change nighthawk to different name to test your git clone
export project=\$project_dir/arthur_2025  # change portfolio_2025 to name of project from git clone
export project_repo="https://github.com/nighthawkcoders/arthur_2025.git"  # change to project you created from portfolio_2025 template 
EOF

Describing the Outputs of the Variables

The next script will extract the saved variables and display their values. Here is a description of the commands:

The source command loads the variables that we saved in the /tmp/variables.sh file in the previous code cell.
The echo commands display the contents of the named variables:
- project_dir: The directory where your project is located.
- project: The specific project directory within project_dir.
- project_repo: The URL of the GitHub repository.

By running this script, you can verify that the environment variables are correctly set in your development environment. If they don’t match up, go back to the previous code cell and make the necessary corrections.

%%script bash

# Extract saved variables
source /tmp/variables.sh

# Output shown title and value variables
echo "Project dir: $project_dir"
echo "Project: $project"
echo "Repo: $project_repo"

Project dir: /home/dino596/vscode
Project: /home/dino596/vscode/arthur_2025
Repo: https://github.com/nighthawkcoders/arthur_2025.git

Project Setup and Analysis with Bash Scripts

The bash scripts that follow automate what was done in the Tools Installation procedures with regards to cloning a GitHub project. Doing this in a script fashion adds the following benefits:

After completing these steps, we will have notes on how to set up and verify a project.
By reviewing these commands, you will start to learn the basics of Linux.
By setting up these code cells, you will be learning how to develop automated scripts using Shell programming.
You will learn that pretty much anything we type on a computer can be automated through the use of variables and a coding language.

Pull Code

Pull code from GitHub to your machine. This is a bash script, a sequence of commands, that will create a project directory and add the “project” from GitHub to the vscode directory. There is conditional logic to make sure that the clone only happens if it does not (!) exist. Here are some key elements in this code:

cd command (change directory), remember this from the terminal session.
if statements (conditional statements, called selection statements by College Board), code inside only happens if the condition is met.

Run the script two times and you will see that the output changes. In the second run, the files exist and it impact the flow of the code.

%%script bash

# Extract saved variables
source /tmp/variables.sh

echo "Using conditional statement to create a project directory and project"

cd ~    # start in home directory

# Conditional block to make a project directory
if [ ! -d $project_dir ]
then 
    echo "Directory $project_dir does not exist... making directory $project_dir"
    mkdir -p $project_dir
fi
echo "Directory $project_dir exists." 

# Conditional block to git clone a project from project_repo
if [ ! -d $project ]
then
    echo "Directory $project does not exist... cloning $project_repo"
    cd $project_dir
    git clone $project_repo
    cd ~
fi
echo "Directory $project exists."

Using conditional statement to create a project directory and project
Directory /home/dino596/vscode exists.
Directory /home/dino596/vscode/arthur_2025 exists.

Look at Files in GitHub Project

All computers contain files and directories. The clone brought more files from the cloud to your machine. Review the bash shell script, observe the commands that show and interact with files and directories. These were used during setup.

ls lists computer files in Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
cd offers a way to navigate and change the working directory.
pwd prints the working directory.
echo is used to display a line of text/string that is passed as an argument.

%%script bash

# Extract saved variables
source /tmp/variables.sh

echo "Navigate to project, then navigate to area wwhere files were cloned"
cd $project
pwd

echo ""
echo "list top level or root of files with project pulled from github"
ls

Navigate to project, then navigate to area wwhere files were cloned
/home/dino596/vscode/arthur_2025

list top level or root of files with project pulled from github

Look at File List with Hidden and Long Attributes

Most Linux commands have options to enhance behavior. The enhanced listing below shows permission bits, owner of the file, size, and date.

Some useful ls flags:

-a: List all files including hidden files.
-l: List in long format.
-h: Human-readable file sizes.
-t: Sort by modification time.
-R: Reverse the order of the sort.

ls reference

%%script bash

# Extract saved variables
source /tmp/variables.sh

echo "Navigate to project, then navigate to area wwhere files were cloned"
cd $project
pwd

echo ""
echo "list all files in long format"
ls -al   # all files -a (hidden) in -l long listing

Navigate to project, then navigate to area wwhere files were cloned
/home/dino596/vscode/arthur_2025

# Introduction

Nighthawk Pages is a project designed to support students in their Computer Science and Software Engineering education. It offers a wide range of resources including tech talks, code examples, and educational blogs.

GitHub Pages can be customized by the blogger to support computer science learnings as the student works through the pathway of using Javascript, Python/Flask, Java/Spring.  

## Student Requirements

Del Norte HS students will be required to review their personal GitHub Pages at each midterm and final.  This review will contain a compilation of personal work performed within each significant grading period.

In general, Students and Teachers are expected to use GitHub pages to build lessons, complete classroom hacks, perform work on JavaScript games, and serve as a frontend to full-stack applications.

Exchange of information could be:

1. sharing a file:  `wget "raw-link.ipynb"
2. creating a template from this repository
3. sharing a fork among team members
4. etc.

## History

This project is in its 3rd revision (aka 3.0).

The project was initially based on Fastpages. But this project has diverged from those roots into an independent entity.  The decision to separate from Fastpages was influenced by the deprecation of Fastpages by authors.  It is believed by our community that the authors of fastpages turned toward Quatro.  After that change of direction fastpages did not align with the Teacher's goals and student needs. The Nighthawk Pages project has more of a raw development blogging need.

### License

The Apache license has its roots in Fastpages.  Thus, it carries its license forward.  However, most of the code is likely unrecognizable from those roots.

### Key Features

- **Code Examples**: Provides practical coding examples in JavaScript, including a platformer game, and frontend code for user databases using Python and Java backends.
- **Educational Blogs**: Offers instructional content on various topics such as developer tools setup, deployment on AWS, SQL databases, machine learning, and data structures. It utilizes Jupyter Notebooks for interactive lessons and coding challenges.
- **Tools and Integrations**: Features GitHub actions for blog publishing, Utterances for blog commenting, local development support via Makefile and scripts, and styling with the Minima Theme and SASS. It also includes a new integration with GitHub Projects and Issues.

### Contributions

- **Notable Contributions**: Highlights significant contributions to the project, including theme development, search and tagging functionality, GitHub API integration, and the incorporation of GitHub Projects into GitHub pages. Contributors such as Tirth Thakker, Mirza Beg, and Toby Ledder have played crucial roles in these developments.

- **Blog Contributions**:  Often students contribute articles and blogs to this project.  Their names are typically listed in the front matter of their contributing post.

## GitHub Pages setup

The absolutes in setup up...

**Activate GitHub Pages Actions**: This step involves enabling GitHub Pages Actions for your project. By doing so, your project will be automatically deployed using GitHub Pages Actions, ensuring that your project is always up to date with the latest changes you push to your repository.

- On the GitHub website for the repository go to the menu: Settings -> Pages ->Build
- Under the Deployment location on the page, select "GitHub Actions".

**Update `_config.yml`**: You need to modify the `_config.yml` file to reflect your repository's name. This configuration is crucial because it ensures that your project's styling is correctly applied, making your deployed site look as intended rather than unstyled or broken.

```text
github_repo: "portfolio_2025" 
baseurl: "/portfolio_2025"
```

**Set Repository Name in Makefile**: Adjust the `REPO_NAME` variable in your Makefile to match your GitHub repository's name. This action facilitates the automatic updating of posts and notebooks on your local development server, improving the development process.

```make
# Configuration, override port with usage: make PORT=4200
PORT ?= 4100
REPO_NAME ?= portfolio_2025
LOG_FILE = /tmp/jekyll$(PORT).log
```

### Tool requirements

All `GitHub Pages` websites are managed on GitHub infrastructure and use GitHub version control.  Each time we change files in GitHub it initiates a GitHub Action, a continuous integration and development toolset, that rebuilds and publishes the site with Jekyll.  

- GitHub uses `Jekyll` to transform your markdown and HTML content into static websites and blogs. [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/).
- A Linux shell is required to work with this project integration with GitHub Pages, GitHub and VSCode.  Ubuntu is the preferred shell, though MacOS shell is supported as well.  There will be some key setup scripts that follow in the README.
- Visual Studio Code is the Nighthawk Pages author's preferred code editor and extensible development environment.  VSCode has a rich ecosystem of developer extensions that ease working with GitHub Pages, GitHub, and many programming languages.  Setting up VSCode and extensions will be elaborated upon in this document.
- An anatomy section in this README will describe GitHub Pages and conventions that are used to organize content and files.  This includes file names, key coding files, metadata tagging of blogs, styling tooling for blogs, etc.

### Development Environment Setup

Comprehensive start. A topic-by-topic guide to getting this project running is published [here](https://nighthawkcoders.github.io/portfolio_2025/devops/tools/home).

Quick start.  A quick start below is a reminder, but is dependent on your knowledge.  Only follow this instruction if you need a refresher.  Always default to the comprehensive start if any problem occurs.

#### Clone Repo

Run these commands to obtain the project, then locate into the project directory with the terminal, install an extensive set of tools, and make.

```bash
git clone <this-repo> # git clone https://github.com/nighthawkcoders/portfolio_2025.git 
cd <repo-dir>/scripts # cd portfolio_2025
```

#### Windows WSL and/or Ubuntu Users

- Execute the script: `./activate_ubuntu.sh`

#### macOS Users

- Execute the script: `./activate_macos.sh`

#### Kasm Cloud Desktop Users

- Execute the script: `./activate.sh`

## Run Server on localhost

To preview the project you will need to "make" the project.

### Bundle install

The very first time you clone run project you will need to run this Ruby command as the final part of your setup.

```bash
bundle install
```

### Start the Server  

This requires running terminal commands `make`, `make stop`, `make clean`, or `make convert` to manage the running server.  Logging of details will appear in the terminal.   A `Makefile` has been created in the project to support commands and start processes.

Start the server, this is the best choice for initial and iterative development.  Note. after the initial `make`, you should see files automatically refresh in the terminal on VSCode save.

  ```bash
  make
  ```

### Load web application into the Browser

Start the preview server in the terminal,
The terminal output from `make` shows the server address. "Cmd" or "Ctl" click the http location to open the preview server in a browser. Here is an example Server address message, click on the Server address to load:...

  ```text
  http://0.0.0.0:4100/portfolio_2025/
  ```

### Regeneration of web application

Save on ".ipynb" or ".md" file activiates "regeneration". An example terminal message is below.  Refresh the browser to see updates after the message displays.

  ```text
  Regenerating: 1 file(s) changed at 2023-07-31 06:54:32
      _notebooks/2024-01-04-cockpit-setup.ipynb
  ```

### Other "make" commands

Terminal messages are generated from background processes.  At any time, click return or enter in a terminal window to obtain a prompt.  Once you have the prompt you can use the terminal as needed for other tasks.  Always return to the root of project `cd ~/vscode/portfolio_2025` for all "make" actions.

#### Stop the preview server

Stopping the server ends the web server applications running process.  However, it leaves constructed files in the project in a ready state for the next time you run `make`.

  ```bash
  make stop
  ```

### Clean the local web application environment

This command will top the server and "clean" all previously constructed files (ie .ipynb -> .md). This is the best choice when renaming files has created duplicates that are visible when previewing work.

  ```bash
  make clean
  ```

### Observe build errors

Test Jupyter Notebook conversions (ie .ipynb -> .md), this is the best choice to see if an IPYNB conversion error is occurring.

  ```bash
  make convert
  ```

---

## Development Support

### File Names in "_posts", "_notebooks"

There are two primary directories for creating blogs.  The "_posts" directory is for authoring in markdown only.  The "_notebooks" allows for markdown, pythons, javascript and more.

To name a file, use the following structure (If dates are in the future, review your config.yml setting if you want them to be viewed).  Review these naming conventions.

- For markdown files in _posts:
  - year-month-day-fileName.md
    - GOOD EXAMPLE: 2021-08-02-First-Day.md
    - BAD EXAMPLE: 2021-8-2-first-day.md
    - BAD EXAMPLE: first-day.md
    - BAD EXAMPLE: 2069-12-31-First-Day.md

- For Jupyter notebooks in _notebooks:
  - year-month-day-fileName.ipynb
    - GOOD EXAMPLE: 2021-08-02-First-Day.ipynb
    - BAD EXAMPLE: 2021-8-2-first-day.ipynb
    - BAD EXAMPLE: first-day.ipynb
    - BAD EXAMPLE: 2069-12-31-First-Day.ipynb

### Tags

Tags are used to organize pages by their tag the way to add tags is to add the following to your front matter such as the example seen here `categories: [Tools]` Each item in the same category will be lumped together to be seen easily on the search page.

### Search

All pages can be searched for using the built-in search bar. This search bar will search for any word in the title of a page or in the page itself. This allows for easily finding pages and information that you are looking for. However, sometimes this may not be desirable so to hide a page from the search you need to add `search_exclude: true` to the front matter of the page. This will hide the page from appearing when the viewer uses search.

### Navigation Bar

To add pages to the top navigation bar use _config.yml to order and determine which menus you want and how to order them.  Review the_config.yml in this project for an example.

### Blog Page

There is a blog page that has options for images and a description of the page. This page can help the viewer understand what the page is about and what they can expect to find on the page. The way to add images to a page is to have the following front matter `image: /images/file.jpg` and then the name of the image that you want to use. The image must be in the `images` folder. Furthermore, if you would like the file to not show up on the blog page `hide: true` can be added to the front matter.

### SASS support

NIGHTHAWK Pages support a variety of different themes that are each overlaid on top of minima. To use each theme, go to the "_sass/minima/custom-styles.scss" file and simply comment or uncomment the theme you want to use.

To learn about the minima themes search for "GitHub Pages minima" and review the README.

To find a new theme search for "Github Pages Themes".

### Includes

- Nighthawk Pages uses liquid syntax to import many common page elements that are present throughout the repository. These common elements are imported from the _includes directory. If you want to add one of these common elements, use liquid syntax to import the desired element to your file. Here’s an example of the liquid syntax used to import: `<h3>
<a class="post-link" href="">

</a>

</h3><p class="post-meta"></p> ` Note that the liquid syntax is surrounded by curly braces and percent signs. This can be used anywhere in the repository.

### Layouts

- To use or create a custom page layout, make an HTML page inside the _layouts directory, and when you want to use that layout in a file, use the following front matter `layout: [your layout here]`.  All layouts will be written in liquid to define the structure of the page.

### Metadata

Metadata, also known as "front matter", is a set of key-value pairs that can provide additional information to GitHub Pages about .md and .ipynb files. This can and probably will be used in other file types (ie doc, pdf) if we add them to the system.

In the front matter, you can also define things like a title and description for the page.  Additional front matter is defined to place content on the "Computer Science Lab Notebook" page.  The `courses:` key will place data on a specific page with the nested `week:` placing data on a specific row on the page.  The `type:` key in "front matter" will place the blog under the plans, hacks(ToDo), and tangibles columns.

- In our files, the front matter is defined at the top of the page or the first markdown cell.

  - First, open one of the .md or .ipynb files already included in either your _posts|_notebooks folder.

  - In the .md file, you should notice something similar to this at the top of the page. To see this in your .ipynb files you will need to double-click the markdown cell at the top of the file.

  ```yaml
  ---
  toc: true
  comments: true
  layout: post
  title: Jupyter Python Sample
  description: Example Blog!!!  This shows code and notes from hacks.
  type: ccc
  courses: { csa: {week: 5} }
  ---
  ```

- The front matter will always have '---' at the top and bottom to distinguish it and each key-value pair will be separated by a ':'.

- Here we can modify things like the title and description.

- The type value will tell us which column this is going to appear under the time box supported pages.  The "ccc" stands for Code, Code, Code.

- The courses will tell us which menu item it will be under, in this case, the `csa` menu, and the `week` tells it what row (week) it will appear under that menu.

Env, Git, and GitHub

Env(ironment) is used to capture things like the path to the Code or Home directory. Git and GitHub are not only used to exchange code between individuals but are also often used to exchange code through servers, in our case for website deployment. All tools we use have behind-the-scenes relationships with the system they run on (MacOS, Windows, Linux) or a relationship with servers to which they are connected (e.g., GitHub). There is an “env” command in bash. There are environment files and setting files (e.g., .git/config) for Git. They both use a key/value concept.

env shows settings for your shell.
git clone sets up a directory of files.
cd $project allows the user to move inside that directory of files.
.git is a hidden directory that is used by Git to establish a relationship between the machine and the Git server on GitHub.

Advanced Shell project

This example was requested by a student (Jun Lim, CSA). The request was to make a Jupyter file using bash; I adapted the request to markdown. This type of thought will have great extrapolation to coding and possibilities of using Lists, Arrays, or APIs to build user interfaces. JavaScript is a language where building HTML is very common.

To get more interesting output from the terminal, this will require using something like mdless (https://github.com/ttscoff/mdless). This enables seeing markdown in rendered format.

On Desktop Install PKG from MacPorts

In Terminal on MacOS

Install ncurses

gem install mdless

Output of the example is much nicer in “Jupyter”

This is starting the process of documentation.

Display Shell commands help using `man`

The previous example used a markdown file to store a list of actions and their descriptions. This example uses the man command to generate a markdown file with descriptions of the commands. The markdown file is then displayed using mdless.

In coding, we should try to get data from the content creators instead of creating it on our own. This approach has several benefits:

Accuracy: Descriptions from man pages are authoritative and accurate, as they come directly from the documentation provided by the command’s developers.
Consistency: Automatically generating descriptions ensures consistency in formatting and terminology.
Efficiency: It saves time and effort, especially when dealing with a large number of commands.
Up-to-date Information: man pages are regularly updated with the latest information, ensuring that the descriptions are current.
