BIRCH - Edit local documentation

Customize local documentation files

One of the most important aspects of a well-run bioinformatics system is that the documentation should look be as specific as possible about how things work on your system. To accomplish this trick, many parts of the BIRCH documentation can be customized, without losing your changes every time you update BIRCH.

The following files in $BIRCH/local/public_html need to be edited to tailor them to your local system.

These files serve only as a starting point. They are specific for our system at the University of Manitoba, but need to be tailored to your system. Because they are in $BIRCH/local, they will NOT be overwritten each time BIRCH is updated.

The BIRCH Home Page
The BIRCH Home Page ($birch/public_html/index.html) gets overwritten each time you update BIRCH. If you were to make changes in this page, they would be lost during the next update. However, many sections of this page can be automatically replaced with your own HTML See Customizing the BIRCH HOME page for complete details.
