Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages

Welcome to GitHub Pages and Jekyll 🎉!

If you're new to GitHub Pages, or you want to learn how to build and host a GitHub Pages site, you're in the right place. With GitHub Pages, you can host content like documentation, resumes, or any other static content that you’d like.

In this course, you'll create a blog hosted on GitHub Pages and learn how to:

• Enable GitHub Pages
• Use Jekyll, a static site generator
• Customize Jekyll sites with a theme and content

New to GitHub?

For this course, you'll need to know how to create a branch on GitHub, commit changes using Git, and open a pull request on GitHub. If you need a refresher on the GitHub flow, check out the Introduction to GitHub course.

⌨️ Activity: Generate a GitHub Pages site

The first step to publishing your blog to the web is to enable GitHub Pages on this repository ^📖. When you enable GitHub Pages on a repository, GitHub takes the content that's on the main branch and publishes a website based on its contents.

1. Under your repository name, click Settings.
2. In the "GitHub Pages" section, in the Source drop-down, select main branch.

After GitHub Pages is enabled and the site is started, we'll be ready to create some more content.

Turning on GitHub Pages creates a deployment of your repository. I may take up to a minute to respond as I await the deployment.

Sometimes I respond too fast for the page to update! If you perform an expected action and don't see a response from me, wait a few seconds and refresh the page for your next steps.
