Installation

To use this site in github pages:

  1. Create a new repository and enable GitHub pages.
  2. Copy the content of _config.yml in this repository to a _config.yml file in your own repository. Update it to reflect your own needs. Note that if you use the master branch/docs folder as your source, the yml file should be in /docs, if not it should be in the root of the repository.
  3. Add the following to your _config.yml file (update the version tag to be the latest version number)
    remote_theme: IntersectAustralia/[email protected]
    
    Note that while you don't have to specify a version, it is highly recommended.
  4. Create your own image files to use in the header and footer of the page and place them in the following location:
  • assets/logos/company_logo.png
  • assets/logos/sub-brand.png
  • assets/logos/favicon.png
  1. Add your markdown files and commit them to your repository. You should have at least an index.md file in the GitHub pages source directory. View the documentation on the rendered site to find more information.
  2. GitHub pages will build your site on every commit, so just visit the rendered site to see the theme at work.
