README is copied from the template repository

cwlt.github.io

The purpose of this project is to provide a simple jumping-off point for a Jekyll-based github.io site.

Prerequisites

• git (a tutorial on installing git can be found here)
• Jekyll (optional; get it here
• Know how to access your terminal and some basics of using it (look here for an intro). Windows users may want to look into the Git Bash emulator (more info here, under the heading Install Git on Windows).

Fork and Deploy the Template

• Go to github.com to set yourself up an account if you don't have one already.
• Navigate to the template's GitHub page, github.com/cwlt/cwlt.github.io (you're probably already here!).
• On the upper right side of the page, click Fork.
• The template repository will be copied to your GitHub account. A webpage for the new repository, now under your account, should open up.
• Click the Settings tab on your copy of the repository.
• Change the repository name to username.github.io, replacing username with your username.
• If you navigate to https://www.username.github.io, replacing username with your username, you should see a your own copy of the template site (perhaps after a few minutes).

Customization

• Navigate to your github.io's repository, Navigate to the template's GitHub page, github.com/username/username.github.io, replacing username with your username.
• Use the Clone or Download button to clone the repository to your own computer to start customizing on it!
• To customize the text, search the project for text that you want to replace. The text can be edited in README.md
• You can share your resume by replacing resources/resume.pdf with your own.
• To add a new page, you will need to create a new Markdown file with the page's content and register it with the menu bar. Use the about page's entry in _data/menu.yml and about.md as a guide.
• After each change you make you will need to git commit filename the file that changed, replacing filename with the relative path to the file that changed, and git push master origin to deploy it online.
• Want to change the overall look of your site? You can find info about customizing your Jekyll theme at jekyllrb.com.
• Want to preview changes to your site before you put it online? If you have Jekyll installed, you can run jekyll serve on the terminal from the project directory. Then, copy and paste the server address that is reported into your browser to view a locally-hosted version of your site.
