Usage

Editing content

This site uses Netlify to manage its editorial workflow. Content is added and edited in collections via the Netlify interface, which can be accessed by approved contributors at resources.data.gov/admin. Collections are managed via the config.yml file in pages/admin.

Branches and environments

Environment	Branch	Description
resources.data.gov	main	The production instance of r.d.g.
resources-staging.data.gov	develop	A preview site used for ad-hoc development or significant changes requiring partner review.
*	feature branches	Feature branches to preview a single change.

Federalist builds all branches and creates previews for them. Two branches are special, main which is automatically deployed by Federalist to resources.data.gov and develop which is used as a staging branch for significant changes.

Deploying to staging is not required. It might be useful for previewing significant changes to the site that require partner review.
