Configuring Jekyll and Github Pages

tags: github - pages - jekyll

Enabling a Jekyll blog is pretty straight forward. Create a repository with the same name as your user name and add a _config.yaml to the root of that repository.

If you want to display a separate page on GitHub then the one rendered as your default page then move your README.md to the .github/ directory and create an index.html file (make sure to translate any markdown to html) in the root of the repository.
