Quickstart
This guide gets you running with a minimal setup and a working example.
Prerequisites
- A GitHub account
- A project repo with GitHub Pages enabled
- A local clone of the repo
Step 1. Confirm Pages settings
Open the repository settings and ensure Pages is set to deploy from the main branch at the root folder.
Step 2. Add your first page
Create an index.md in the repo root (already done) and commit it. This file becomes your homepage.
Step 3. Configure the site
Edit _config.yml to set title, description, url, and a supported theme.
Step 4. Verify the build
Wait for the Pages build to complete, then load the custom domain in your browser.
