Summary of Changes

Hello @jen-reeve, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a substantial refactoring of the 'Submitting your first job' tutorial, transforming it from a comprehensive, standalone guide into a more concise overview that points to dedicated resources for in-depth information. The intent is to create a clearer learning path for users by centralizing detailed command explanations and reference material in appropriate cheat sheets and guides, while the tutorial focuses on the workflow.

Highlights

  • Tutorial Refactoring: The 'Submitting your first job' tutorial has been significantly refactored, removing extensive content and replacing it with a high-level outline and links to other resources.
  • Documentation Integration: The 'Slurm Reference Sheet' is now linked from the main 'Batch Computing Guide' and its description updated to reflect its role alongside the refactored tutorial.
  • Streamlined Learning Path: The changes aim to provide a more streamlined learning experience by directing users to specialized documents for detailed information on Slurm commands and concepts.

Taking a poke through and adding notes here. 99% nitpicky stuff I'll fix at some point.

What is an HPC?

  • - node image is WAYYY too bright
  • - I like the first quiz
  • - Keypoints admonition color is also too bright
  • - NeSI in places still
  • - some spots to add links to other pages in the docs (OnDemand jumped out at me)

Bash Shell

  • - NeSI again
  • - nn_storage_quota example shows the output but not the actual command which might be nice b/c I use it wrong all the time (-u versus -p)
  • - Following paragraph mentions user being over quota but it isn't
  • - home info admonition empty
  • - workshop working dir comment
  • - ls reading comprehension file tree image broken
  • - inconsistent coloring of commands versus output (I like the color to indicate command use idea)
  • - increase size of command structure image
  • - do we have a plan for the question/solution admonitions?
  • - tab completion first command is weird? Python issue?
  • - any ideas on breaking this page up? it is a long one
  • - cat mentioned but not in the table of other file operations
  • - should we mention pipes? just in the context of cat?
  • - too many keypoints

Environment and modules

  • - why are the objectives in quotes?
  • - change "Python 2 and 3 and C..." to be "Python 2 and Python 3 and C ...."
  • - I think we can do something formatting-wise to make the software incompatibility/versioning/dependencies paragraphs nicer, something about them bugs me
  • - remind me to just do a typo/nitpick edit at the end
  • - the last page covered the structure of commands, but I don't think it mentioned subcommands, should we explain that more or just assume people can figure it out from context?
  • - ok well now you are claiming that pipes are covered in intro to bash
  • - do we want to cover searching for software and that module is case sensitive

Submitting your first job

  • - we need to stick this R script somewhere (sum_matrix.r)
  • - quizify

Resources

  • - objectives in quotes
  • - first code block has an extra set of ticks at the end
  • - math formatting
  • - mention /opt/nesi/examples?
  • - test jobs paragraph stopped being real sentences
  • - 'debug jobs have to run within 15 minutes' -> 'debug jobs cannot run for more than 15 minutes'

Scaling

  • - objectives in quotes
  • - I'm assuming this is currently missing most of the content

Parallel

  • - the node image again
  • - objectives in quotes

Other

  • Resources and Parallel are missing their graduation caps!
  • Adding a button to the homepage?
  • What's going on with the link to the tutorial from the Batch Computing Guide? I'm assuming you are doing something fancy?
