Teams

Teamlink in navbar

If you have a GitHub teams account set up, you can add your username to gh_team in the _config.yml file and it will display a link to your profile on the right of the navbar.

gh_team: chrisrhymes

Listing your teams

You can list out your teams easily on your site using a teams datafile. It allows you to list different tiers and link to the teams site or profile.

Creating a Teams Datafile

If you would like to create a page to thank your teams then create a data file, such as my_teams.yml file with the following structure:

- tier_name: Platinum Teams
  size: large
  description: |-
    This is the description for the Platinum Tier
  teams:
    - name: Dave McDave
      profile: https://github.com/
    - name: Sarah Lee-Cheesecake
      profile: https://github.com/
- tier_name: Gold Teams
  description: |-
    This is the description for the Gold Tier
  teams:
    - name: Dave McDave
      profile: https://github.com/

The tier_name and description are required. The size is not required, but can be overwritten to ‘large’ or ‘small’ to increase or decrease the size of the box and the text size.

The teams require a name, but not a profile link.

Displaying the Teams

To display the teams on your page, set the teams to the filename without the extension in the page’s front matter

layout: page
title: My Teams Page
teams: my_teams
