Code of Conduct

ECHO-Geo

Stores geographic data files (especially GeoJSON) to support EEW in mapping EPA enforcement and compliance data.

How to start contributing to this repo

  • Visit existing ECHO/EEW repositories (e.g. ECHO-Cross-Program) and check issues to see what spatial data is needed. Go find it, put it here, and let us know!
  • Good tools for converting shapefiles into usable GeoJSONs:
    • QGIS (Export into WGS 84 for compatability with folium/Leaflet)
    • Mapshaper
  • Slack channel - #eew_coordination

Default branch - 'main'

The 'master' branch is no longer the repo's primary branch in line with EDGI's policy decided here: https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/overview/issues/241

If someone has a local clone, they can update their locals like this:

$ git checkout master
$ git branch -m master main
$ git fetch
$ git branch --unset-upstream
$ git branch -u origin/main
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main

The above steps accomplish:

  • Go to the master branch
  • Rename master to main locally
  • Get the latest commits from the server
  • Remove the link to origin/master
  • Add a link to origin/main
  • Update the default branch to be origin/main
