igeo7.github.io

Source for the IGEO7 documentation website — a Docusaurus v3 site deployed to GitHub Pages.

IGEO7 is a hierarchically indexed hexagonal equal-area Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) with the Z7 indexing system — the equal-area alternative to H3.

Local Development

cd website
npm install
npm run start     # dev server at http://localhost:3000

Build

cd website
npm run build     # production build → website/build/
npm run serve     # serve the production build locally

Deployment

Pushing to main triggers the GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml), which builds the site and deploys it to the gh-pages branch. The custom domain igeo7.org is configured via website/static/CNAME.
