Jekyll-Bootstrap works the same way, except you will now have cool themes to pick from for your website!īefore we discuss more about Jekyll, let’s discuss the difference between a User Page and Project Pages. When you use Jekyll you will be installing a set of files in your GitHub repository that tell GitHub to create html files from the markdown files. Jekyll-Bootstrap takes away a lot of the hassle about Jekyll by allowing the user to create blog-aware websites using markdown with themes. Therefore, it is definitely worth taking the time to understand a little bit about Jekyll, but it can be confusing if you are unfamiliar with it. Many blogs are written in Jekyll including every GitHub page. Jekyll is a “a simple blog aware, static site generator” based on files such as Markdown. The main idea of behind both of these repositories is Jekyll discussed next. This tutorial is similar, but uses the Jekyll-Bootstrap repository at () which can include additional themes. The amazing Karl Broman recently added another tutorial specifically for creating GitHub Pages using his simple_site repository at (). The Project Pages are websites which are special repositories that will have the domain name where the name of the repository on GitHub is called myrepo. This User Page is a website that will have the domain name or where username is replaced by your GitHub username. For each registered GitHub account (representing a user or an organization) you can register one User Page, but an unlimited Project pages.
The purpose of GitHub Pages is to provide the GitHub user a way to create personal websites for themselves and websites for their projects / repositories. Turn R Markdown files into Markdown files using Knitr in R-Studio and make an online book Write programming books using GitHub and Markdown using GitBook GitHub Pages is a really useful resource provided and hosted by GitHub. My personal favorite tutorial is by Karl Broman called git/github which I highly recommend if you are interested in learning more about git and GitHub. There are so many great reasons to use git and GitHub.
