Circuitscape Website

Source for circuitscape.org, built with Franklin.jl.

Local development

Install Julia, then:

julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); using Franklin; serve()'

This starts a local server at http://localhost:8000 with live reloading.

Project structure

• _css/ — Stylesheets (main.css, normalize.css)
• _layout/ — HTML templates (head.html, header.html, foot.html, page_foot.html)
• _assets/img/ — Images
• pubs/ — PDF publications
• downloads/ — Legacy Circuitscape 4 installers
• config.md — Site-wide configuration (title, description, docs link)
• *.md — Page content (Franklin Markdown with TOML frontmatter)
• __site/ — Generated output (not committed)

Deployment

Pushing to master triggers the Build and Deploy GitHub Actions workflow:

1. Checks out the repo
2. Installs Julia with cached packages
3. Builds the site with Franklin.optimize()
4. Deploys to GitHub Pages via actions/deploy-pages

The site is published at circuitscape.org. DNS is configured via the CNAME file.

Dependabot checks for GitHub Actions updates monthly.
