Symlink ./glossary.yml to ./_data/glossary.yml to avoid duplication about glosario HOT 4 CLOSED

1. I might be missing something, but I don't see a ./_data/ directory. IME, it's perfectly fine to have a symlink (I used to do this for my NEWS.md to get it to build on GH pages and CRAN).
2. Are we expecting people to practice pull/push with their contributions to this or would they be expected to initially contribute via the github interface? if majority latter, then I think it doesn't matter
3. Yes
4. I think the impact will be whatever Jekyll thinks about symlinks.

It looks like .gitignore is ignoring _data/glossary.yml, so is it being created during an automated build step? If so, how do I trigger that build step locally to make sure that file is up to date when previewing the site locally? cc @ian-flores

it doesn't look like there is an automated building happening yet but that should work nicely.

• on GitHub: development takes place in the main branch, changes trigger the CI/CD that calls make site the content of the _site folder gets pushed to an orphan gh-pages branch that takes care of the website rendering.
• locally: you can run make serve.

Both make site and make serve create copy the yml file from the root to the _data folder before the actual build.

I could look into setting this up tomorrow if needed.

👍 I'll close this one and rely on the Makefile.
