Post your blog ​

The blog posting follows the pull request of GitCode.

• Fork openGauss blog project https://gitcode.com/opengauss/blog/tree/v2 to your own GitCode. Refer to https://docs.gitcode.com/docs/help/home/org_project/pullrequests/ for detailed guidance.

• Clone the code to your local environment.

  git clone https://gitcode.com/<your-gitcode-id>/openGauss-blog
  

• Create a branch

  git checkout -b <branch-name>
  

• Create a folder in the website floder If you are going to post a blog in English, the app/en/blog is your work path.

  And if you are going to post a blog in Chinese, the app/zh/blog is your work path.

  Assume that you are preparing an English blog.

  cd app/en/blogs
  mkdir <your-gitcode-id>
  cd <your-gitcode-id>
  touch YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.md
  

  And You can put the resources in the same folder as your text file's, and name the resources as

  YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title-NN.MARKUP
  

  Where the YEAR, MONTH, DAY, and title are the same as your blog file, and NN is the serial number of the pictures, like 01, 02 and so on. The MARKUP is the file extension, and for pictures it is recommended to use png. The following are one example.
