We believe that these logos obtained from third-party providers are either in the public domain or fair use.

Developing
The only supported method of building and previewing this website locally is by running the automatic dev container. The easiest way to do this in your web browser without installing any software is to use GitHub Codespaces. To build the website locally, you will need the following software:
- macOS/Windows: Docker Desktop
- Linux: Docker CE
- VS Code
- Dev Containers for VS Code extension
- GitHub Desktop (optional)
You can technically use any IDE which supports development containers, but YMMV. Docker Desktop has an experimental Dev Environments option which allows you to use any text editor under Settings > Features in development. We are only testing with the combination of software above.
Committing to this repository requires signing your commits (git config commit.gpgsign true) unless you are making edits via the GitHub.com text editor interface. As of August 2022 the preferred signing method is SSH commit signatures, but GPG signing is also acceptable. You should add your signing key to your GitHub profile.
Releasing
It is required to create a GitHub release to publish the current site to privacyguides.org. The current main branch can be previewed at https://main.staging.privacyguides.dev prior to release.
- Create a new tag:
git tag -s YYYY.MM.DD -m 'Some message'- Tag numbering:
YYYY.MM.DD- if two+ releases are published on the same day, append short commit sha to next release, e.g.YYYY.MM.DD-6aa14e8 - Enable GPG tag signing by default (
git config tag.gpgSign true) to avoid missing signatures
- Tag numbering:
- Push the tag to GitHub:
git push --tags - A GitHub Release will be automatically created and deployed to the live site.
- You may wish to manually check or edit the release changelog/title after it is published for accuracy.
