Portfolio item number 3
Create a personal web site on Github.com
1. Create a GitHub account if you dont have one yet.
2. Install Git for Windows (Git Bash) for using it in Windows.
3. Create a new repository on your GitHub account and name it as username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub.
4. In Git Bash (in Windows), go to the folder where you want to store your project locally, and clone the new repository to your local computer:
git clone https://github.com/username/username.github.io
5. Enter the project folder and add an index.html file:
cd username.github.io
echo "Hello World" > index.html
6. Add, commit, and push your changes:
git add --all
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
7. Test your site by firing up a browser and go to https://username.github.io.
8. There are many github web page templates that you can start with instead of building your own site from scratch! Below is an example for academic pages:
a. An introduction to the academicpages repository for building academic web site on github.com.
b. An example site built with template is here and you can fork/clone the template repository.
