Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages

Welcome to GitHub Pages and Jekyll 🎉!

In this course, you'll learn how to build and host a GitHub Pages site. With GitHub Pages, you can host content like documentation, resumes, or any other static content you’d like.

In this course, you'll create a blog hosted on GitHub Pages and learn how to:

• Enable GitHub Pages
• Use Jekyll, a static site generator
• Customize Jekyll sites with a theme and content

New to GitHub?

For this course, you'll need to know how to create a branch on GitHub, commit changes using Git, and open a pull request on GitHub. If you need a refresher on the GitHub flow, check out the the Introduction to GitHub course.

⌨️ Activity: Turn on GitHub Pages

The first step to publishing your blog to the web is to enable GitHub Pages on this repository ^📖. When you enable GitHub Pages on a repository, GitHub takes the content that's on the master branch and publishes a website based on its contents.

1. Under your repository name, click Settings
2. In the "GitHub Pages" section, use the Select source drop-down menu to select the master branch as your GitHub Pages publishing source.
3. Click Save

After GitHub Pages is enabled, we'll be ready to create some content.

For a printable version of the steps in this course, check out the Quick Reference Guide.

Turning on GitHub Pages creates a deployment of your repository. I may take up to a minute to respond as I await the deployment.
