The webpage is based on Jekyll al-folio theme. See there for all the details. Also you can check their readme or some notes on how to customize stuff. Below, I have listed some quick setup.

It is important to apply your edits on your local machine and make sure they look okay before pushing on github, because the moment you push, it will automatically deploy on the web. It is the responsibility of the git committer to make sure that their edits are appropriate and accurate. After push, make sure to check there is no deploy errors on github. For this, check the pages-build-deployment workflow page on github (link) and make sure the workflow runs with no error (it takes a few minutes after your push for the workflow to start, you can see all the workflows here. There are usually some errors for other workflows such as broken links or Prettier code formatter which is fine. The one that says pages-build-deployment with a bot tag near it is important).

There are many ways. Perhaps the easiest (assuming you have github CLI) is

gh repo clone labicon/labicon.github.io

There are some ways described in the al-folio installation document. The recommended way is to first install Docker desktop. Then, for the first time, inside the repo folder, do

docker compose pull

To preview, do

docker compose up

You need to modify _pages/about.md.

Change /_bibliography/papers.bib. There are some useful extra things you can add (see these instructions for more details). For instance:

• If you add bibtex_show={true}, the bibtex source of the paper will be shown for someone to copy.
• Add paper link by html={<link>}
• Add arxiv={xxxx.xxxxx} for arXiv link (note that you should only insert the 9 digit arXiv identifier, not the whole link).
• Add preview={<image-file-name>} to have a picture shown to the left of the paper. <image-file-name> is the file name that exists in /assets/img/publication_preview/. This can be a gif file to make it exciting! (example).
• Add paper={<pdf-file-name.pdf>} to show a pdf version of the paper (good for preprints perhaps).<pdf-file-name.pdf> should be in /assets/pdf/.

By default, only the first 3 authors are shown, the rest are hidden. To change this, you need to change max_author_limit: 3 in /_config.yml (leave blank to show all authors).

Each project has a file in the /_projects/. See the existing projects there to get an idea.

It might be useful to cite papers when talking about a project and have a list of cited papers at the bottom of the page. For doing so for a project (same concept holds for posts, which we do not currently have), to cite a paper, do

{% cite <bib-entry-id> %}

Also, make sure to have related_publications: true on top of the project page.

Each news has a file in /_news/. See the examples there to get an idea. It is useful to name the file for a new such that it starts with the date so that everything is organized.
