Practice creating a website with Github through Brock DSL workshop: Making a Free Webpage with GitHub Pages
Here's a sentence with a footnote: let's talk about images in markdown 1
- settings > pages Option 1:
- choose a theme --> this will create a new branch (github pages) and will be where webpage is hosted
- new files are created ( index.md --> front page of your webpage; by default it will fill in content from theme picker)
- content is not carried from main branch; usually set up gh-pages first
- action button = see website being built
Option 2:
- pick a branch to be source for content for web pages - choose if repository is purposed for creating webpage with no other functionality
