GitHub Pages

Create a site or blog from your GitHub repositories with GitHub Pages.

Step 2: Configure your site

You turned on GitHub Pages! 🎉

We'll work in a branch, my-pages, that I created for you to get this site looking great. ❇️

Jekyll uses a file titled _config.yml to store settings for your site, your theme, and reusable content like your site title and GitHub handle. You can check out the _config.yml file on the Code tab of your repository.

We need to use a blog-ready theme. For this activity, we will use a theme named "minima".

⌨️ Activity: Configure your site

  1. Browse to the _config.yml file in the my-pages branch.
  2. In the upper right corner, open the file editor.
  3. Add a theme: set to minima so it shows in the _config.yml file as below:
    theme: minima
  4. (optional) You can modify the other configuration variables such as title:, author:, and description: to further customize your site.
  5. Commit your changes.
  6. (optional) Create a pull request to view all the changes you'll make throughout this course. Click the Pull Requests tab, click New pull request, set base: main and compare:my-pages.
  7. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). GitHub Actions will automatically update to the next step.
