Structure #

The structure is required for uniformity, so here are a few template, to help you curate the content.

The _index.md file acts as the index for that specific directory.

To add a new category

A category is the high level overview. For example - “Application Security” is a category.

Steps - Create a new directory in docs directory. Add a new file inside the newly created directory called _index.md with the following content in it.

---
title: <!-- Category Name Here. -->
bookCollapseSection: true
---

<!-- Your content here. -->

a new category will be created.

Each Category will contain an images/ folder.

Directory Structure -

content/
├─ docs/
│  ├─ category-name/
│  │  ├─ images/
│  │  ├─ _index.md

Create a New Sub Category

To create a sub category in side a category, we need to create a directory inside the main category, which will contain all the different markdown files of different content.

---
title: <!-- SubCategory Name Here. -->
bookCollapseSection: true
---

<!-- Your content here. -->

To add a new page

Each page will contain the following content -

---
title: <!-- Title of the page here. -->
---

<!-- Your content here. -->

Images can be used in each page by using the complete link - content/docs/<category-name>/images/<image-name>.<extension> Example -

![Alt text](content/docs/cloud-security/images/image.png)

Infrastructure #

The wiki is built on the Hugo. If you can help with any improvements, feature additions, etc. You can create an Issue and we can discuss it over there.

Additional Features #

Linking an Internal Document

{{ </* relref "<!-- document/path/here -->" */> }}

It will help hugo internally process the document easily.

Other cool elements to be added can be found in the shortcode section.

Clone the repository to make changes locally -

git clone [email protected]:payatu/cybersec-wiki.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

Install Hugo Extended Latest Version.

It will start a local server to test the changes that you have made, in terms of look, feel and content.
Once satisfied with the changes made, push the changes to GitHub, it will ask you to create a fork of the repository and make changes there.
