During the course you will write blog posts, so let's get one. We will use Github Pages for hosting and managing the blog, it basically combines the Github workflow and Jekyll ruby's blog engine. Before continuing, please watch this video (it's just 4 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MsN8gpT6jY. What you are going to do is to fork this repository (which is a fork of a template) and customize to use it.
- Fork this repository.
- Change the name of your repository (the cooler, the better)
- Edit
_config.yml
file in the following lines:
url: 'http://sopapiglobo.github.io' # replace 'sopapiglobo' with your github username
baseurl: '/baseurlname/' # it will look: http://your-gh-username.github.io/baseurlname
We encourage you to modify the values of title
, subtitle
, email
, email2
and description
too :-).
- Create your new post by clone any markdown archive in
_posts
folder. Here's a quick Markdown tutorial. Keep in mind that it may take some minutes to see the post published. - Read about Github Pages in their official documentation.
You can customize in all the ways you want, read more here and here.
