The Problem

Stakeholders often need a quick, hosted showcase for data‑science or developer work, but setting up a professional‑looking site on GitHub Pages can be time‑consuming. A ready‑made Jekyll template eliminates the manual HTML/CSS work and lets the owner focus on content.

What This Does

The repository is a static‑site template built for GitHub Pages. The main layout lives in _layouts/default.html, while content pages (index.md, sample_page.md, README.md) are written in Markdown. Images under images/ and a PDF (pdf/sample_presentation.pdf) are referenced directly from the pages. The site is styled by the Minimal Jekyll theme, and the README.md demonstrates the Markdown features the template supports.

Key files:

  • index.md – home page that includes images/demo.gif.
  • _layouts/default.html – base HTML wrapper applied to every page.
  • _config.yml – Jekyll configuration (site title, theme, etc.).
  • LICENSE – CC0‑style license granting unrestricted reuse.

No Python, Bytewax, Bokeh, or Streamlit code is present, so the advertised real‑time trade‑data pipeline is not implemented in this repo.

How It Is Wired

GitHub Pages automatically runs Jekyll on each push:

  1. Entry point – Jekyll reads _config.yml.
  2. Template rendering – For every .md file, Jekyll loads _layouts/default.html and injects the Markdown‑converted HTML.
  3. Asset handling – Files in images/ and pdf/ are copied unchanged to the output site and can be linked via relative URLs.

There are no explicit function calls or network interactions beyond Jekyll’s own build process. The repository contains only static assets; therefore the “wire” consists solely of the Jekyll build pipeline.

How To Use It

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/moses-y/TradeDataCoinbase.git
cd TradeDataCoinbase

# Install Jekyll (requires Ruby)
gem install bundler jekyll
bundle install   # reads any Gemfile if added later

# Build and serve locally
bundle exec jekyll serve

After jekyll serve the site is reachable at http://localhost:4000. To publish, push the main (or gh-pages) branch to GitHub; GitHub Pages will invoke Jekyll automatically.

No additional configuration files (e.g., Gemfile, environment variables) are present, so the default Jekyll settings apply.

Real‑World Use

A data scientist could fork this repo, replace index.md and sample_page.md with project write‑ups, and add plots (exported as PNG or interactive HTML) to the images/ folder. The resulting site serves as a lightweight portfolio hosted at username.github.io/TradeDataCoinbase.

Code Health & Issues

  • Medium – No test files detected – repository-wide (static site, no automated tests).
  • Medium – No CI/CD pipeline detected – no .github/ workflows or other CI config.
  • Low – No Dockerfile – cannot containerize the build without adding one.
  • Low – No lockfile – dependency versions for Ruby gems are not pinned.

Other observations: a permissive LICENSE is present; no committed secrets were found.

The Bottom Line

The repo delivers a clean, Minimal‑theme Jekyll template suitable for quick GitHub Pages portfolios. It lacks any of the described real‑time trade‑data processing code, and the project does not include tests or CI. Engineers looking for a ready‑made data‑pipeline will need to add substantial code; those needing a simple static portfolio can use it as‑is.
