Offline Capable Lessons: Setup

Whilst one could follow the instructions for creating a standalone lesson, as found upon the SWC’s lesson-example rendered setup page,

https://swcarpentry.github.io/lesson-example/setup/index.html

the modifications that get applied to a lesson’s souce material can just as easily be applied into a branch, within a local Git repo of any lesson, that the reader can set aside for exploring the approaches that this lesson seeks to promote.

Note that the URI given above for the page within the SWC’s GitHub pages website has an explicit index.html appeneded to the bare path URI , which would be

https://swcarpentry.github.io/lesson-example/setup/

so as to alert any readers, unfamiliar with the concept of webservers automatically appending filenames to bare URIs, to the fact that even when a bare URI is suppllied, the webserver will usually serve the contents of a file, and that that file will typically be named index.html.
