What is this?

This is a Jekyll-based website for the MODEVAR 2020 workshop. This repository comprises templates and files with the content. The real website is generated from these files using the Jekyll static-website generator and the minimal mistakes template.

The MODEVAR website is deployed in Github Pages. Authors can create new content using Prose, Netlify or the Github web interface. This repository must be cloned/forked only for development.

This site is inspired in AcademicPages/events, a fork from the minimal mistakes template.
