How to deploy your own website (on GitHub pages)

  1. Fork this repository.
  2. Open _config.yml.
    1. Update url field according to your GitHub account (e.g., https://<your-github-username>.github.io/).
    2. Update baseurl field according to your reporsitory's name (e.g., /cs101).
    3. Commit and push your changes.
  3. Go to your repository's settigns (https://github.com/<your-github-username>/<your-repo-name>/settings).
  4. On GitHub Pages section, choose source to be your master branch, and enable Github Pages.
  5. You are now ready to go! Start customizing your website.

Pro Tip: You don't need to clone your repo to update your website. Use GitHub web UI to update its source files, and GitHub will build and deploy your website automatically!

Best Practice for managing repositories: If you plan to use this template for university courses, and the course is offered for multiple semesters/quarters, I suggests you to create a GitHub account or an Organization for it. Then, create new repoository under that account/organization for each semester.

  • Example:
    • Course name: CS101
    • Semester: Fall 2020
    • School name: CMU
  • => account/org name: cmu-cs101
  • => repo name: fa2020
  • => website address will be: https://cmu-cs101.github.io/fa2020/

How to test your website locally

  1. Install Jekyll (Installation guide)
  2. Clone your repo
  3. Watch your website while editing: bundle exec jekyll serve

How to customize

Changing the names

  • Open _config.yml
  • Update course_name, course_semester, and course_description (this will appear in the home page).
  • Update schoolname, schoolurl, twitter_username, and address accordingly.
  • (Optional) Enter your Google Analytics tracking ID in the google_analytics field (Remember to uncomment it).
  • Add more content to your home page: Update index.md (it supports Markdown!)
  • Update course staff info at _data/people.yml (You may need to upload the profile pics to _images folder.
  • (Optional) Open _data/previous_offering.yml and update the data if needed.

Change the looks

  • Open _sass/_user_vars.scss

  • Select your favorite from the pre-defined themes (comment all other themes, and uncomment your desired one)

  • Here are all themes:

  • You can also change the colors manually to match your branding
