Create a new GitHub site

Follow these instructions to setup a GitHub pages website with this theme.

First open up GitHub and create a new repository. For the sake of this example we'll call our community site test.

Clone it locally.

git clone git@github.com:mrsanz/test.git

Follow the instructions to install jekyll but instead generate the site overtop of your cloned repo.

jekyll new test --force

Now you have a blank Jekyll site ready to accept your content!

Important Notes

  • Configuring url and baseurl in _config.yml have a big impact on how your site works.

    To configure it properly set baseurl should really be set to the subpath for your site, e.g. /test in this case The url of the site should be set to something like "https://mrsanz.github.io".

The Jekyll generator uses the extension .markdown for index and other markdown, but I like to rename these to .md Either file extension will work.

Finish up

Follow the rest of the instructions in the main README.md to setup the theme.

Once you are all set push your changes up to GitHub and configure pages in the settings tab of GitHub.

git commit -am 'initial commit for site'
git push origin master # or gh-pages

Profit!
