Blogging made easy with github.io and jekyll

Souhail HANFISouhail HANFI, in 22 August 2014

In this article i will briefly explain how to crate a YourUserName.github.io page and use jekyll to blog.

For more informations RTFM : jekyll Doc

First of all we will start by creating our github Repository:

You need a Github Account if you don’t already have one.

Create a new repository called “YourUsername.github.io”

Do a first init/add/commit/push into your remote repo as it’s shown in the new Repository window.

Create your Jekyll blog in your local project folder by following the Jekyll Quickstart.

git add/commit/push and that’s it … your Blog is online at YourGithubUsername.github.com (wait a minute maybe for github to make your site available)

AND NOW GO BLOGGING !!!
