What is the KU Blockchain Institute (KUBI)?

The KU Blockchain Institute aims to promote blockchain technology education and adoption in the midwest, but what is blockchain? Essentialy, a blockchain is a permanent, decentralized, immutable ledger of transactions where blocks hold the transactions linked in a chain. We believe the inherent properties of this technology is the future of the internet, allowing communities to form where ownership does not come from a single entity.

Workflow for editing the KUBI Website

Starting out

1. Clone the repository and open a terminal.
2. Install the package manager yarn here if you don’t have it already.
3. Install all package dependences using the command yarn.
4. Make all your changes on your own Git branch using git checkout <yourFirstName>-branch.
   • Example: git checkout micah-branch
5. Set up the private .env file to hold secret keys. Reach out to a contributor for this information.

Development

1. Run yarn dev to start the development server.
   • Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
   • Changes made in the code will be reflected immediately in the browser window.

Production

1. Test your changes in a production server. First, build the application using yarn build.
2. Run yarn start to start the production server with the built assets.
   • Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
   • This is an optimized production build, not meant for making changes.

Pushing Changes

1. Use git add . to stage all the files you’ve made changes to.
2. Commit your changes by using git commit -m "<yourCommitMessag>".
   • Example: git commit -m "changed bio and headshot for micah"
3. Create a pull request by going to the Github repository and requesting to merge into the main branch.
