Template Details
This is a website template for Google Developer Student Club (DSC) chapters, built with Gatsby. The repository is positioned so that each DSC chapter can generate its own chapter site in a few steps, and the README states that maintaining content does not require web development or backend skills.
Content management: site copy and data are centralized in the content folder at the project root, stored as multiple .yaml files. Modifying these files adjusts page content without changing page code.
Local running and deployment: Node.js must be installed first. For first-time use, clone the repository, install the Gatsby CLI globally, install local dependencies, then run npm run develop to start locally on the default port 8000 and edit the content directory. Deployment offers two paths: Firebase Hosting (requires a Firebase account and project; after configuring the Firebase CLI, run npm run deployFirebase) and GitHub Pages (run npm run deploy).
Extending social links: team cards and the footer support additional social icons. For icons other than twitter, youtube, github, and linkedin, first confirm the icon exists in FontAwesome, then add an entry in the corresponding YAML or in gatsby-config.js under siteMetadata.social, export it in src/icons.js, and add the field to the GraphQL query in Teams.js or Footer.js.
Project origin and license: this template is a Gatsby rebuild of the EKSU DSC website, by Andrea Bacciu and Alessandro Scandone. The repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of the code, provided copyright and license notices are retained; external services such as Firebase and third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate verification of their own terms.

Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Additional costs & items to verify
- Deploying to Firebase Hosting requires a Firebase account and creating a Firebase project; this is an external service dependency, not a code license restriction.
- Using the Firebase deployment path requires additionally installing the Firebase CLI and logging in with a Google account; this is an external tool requirement for an optional deployment method.
- The README mentions Firebase integration; before enabling related dynamic features, configure it yourself and check Firebase quotas and charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
What to verify for this project

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Gatsby as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

The commitment of this repository is to allow all the Developer Student Clubs to **generate a site** for their club in **less than 3 minutes**, performing a few simple steps.<br> <br>
**The management of this site does not require any kind of web development and backend competence.**
## Demo
You can see the [demo here](https://andreabac3.github.io/dsc-website-template/)
## How can I change the content of the site without knowing web languages?
To change the content of the site, go to the `content` folder located in the root of the project. In this folder there are several .yaml files in which you can modify the contents.
## 🚀 Quick Start
To install you first need [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) on your machine.
You need to perform the following steps only the first time.
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/andreabac3/dsc-website-template.git
cd dsc-website-template/
# Install the gatbsy CLI
npm i -g gatsby-cli
# Install local dependencies
npm install
# Run on localhost:8000 (by default)
# and edit the /content folder
npm run develop
```
**that's it!**
# Deploy
## Deploy on Firebase Hosting 🔥
We suggest to read the [Firebase Hosting guide reference from Gatsby website](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/deploying-to-firebase/)
Make sure you have:
- a Firebase Account
- created a Firebase Project
<details><summary>Click here to read more about Firebase Deploy</summary>
<p>
> You can skip the first two points of the guide if you have already installed and configured the following dependencies.
<br>
1. Install the Firebase CLI with npm by running the following command and sign into firebase account:
```sh
npm install -g firebase-tools
```
2. Sign into Firebase using your Google account by running the following command:
```sh
firebase login
```
3. Navigate into the root of the project and running the following command:
```sh
firebase init
```
then select **Firebase Hosting** and the firebase project you wish to use or creat a new one if you haven't done it previously.
These first three steps are needed only once during the first configuration. After that, only step 4 is needed to deploy on Firebase.
4. Finally we can deploy our website
```sh
npm run deployFirebase
```
All done! Once the deployment concludes, you can access your website using `firebaseProjectId.firebaseapp.com` or `firebaseProjectId.web.app`.
N.B: of course replace the keyword <firebaseProjectId> with the name of your project.
