### Notes
* IDE is the tool you use for writing software or editing github material locally. integrated development environment.
* If using R, look out for R's hidden files whihc are created when you open a project in R. This will look like you have edited the repo and ask for changes to be committted/stashed.

### Action points for follow up (add this to the contributing guide)
* Add to Contributing guide that you need to have github + IDE installed and provide links. 
    * This has already been suggested  [in this issue #219](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/open-research-community-management/issues/219). 
    * May require admin access on your machine to install git.
* Add info on how to handle R's hidden files!
* Instruction to add your name on the base (home page) index.qmd
* We should consider moving to .md extension pages (rather than .qmd) to make it easier to port existing content. 
    * Confirm that this will not impact the wiki functioning too detrimentally! 
* Currently there is no option to render the site remotely. Folks are encouraged to render locally before pushing changes. 
    * This could be achieved through github actions.
    * Note not being able to do a remote deploy means PR reviewers can't check the deployed version without pulling the PR branch then rendering locally.
    * Github is also developing remote deploy previews
    * Malvika is keen to use the remote deploy if the CI is there
    * Also an argument to 'force' the local deploy to develop skill/practice in building locally.
    * If we choose not to use the remote deploy, our reasons for not doing so should be explained in our contributing guide. 
* Must be sure to render locally before pushing, as quarto does more in the background which should also be pushed/merged
