for building and maintaining the site using Jupyter book:

• Make sure onl/_config.yml and onl/_toc.yml are updated to include all files being published

To build from root directory: jupyter-book build onl

You can view this build locally (it is not yet published) by opening ./_build/html/index.html in your browser. Execute jupyter-book build onl to refresh.

To publish book to Github pages or to update the published content, (from root directory): ghp-import -n -p -f onl/_build/html

Private repo status and Google Colab

Note: as long as this repo is not publicly accessible, users will not be able to access the notebooks in Colab, a popular platform (a temporary solution was developed for the Geo4Dev conference, but it is not viable long-term). The published content will be viewable by anyone and the notebooks can be downloaded and executed locally however.
