HOW TO: Make Your Own Website For FREE | Github Pages
Here are the steps followed in the video:
1. Fork repository from: https://github.com/academicpages/acad...
2. Click on the repository’s ‘Settings’ and change the repo name to "[your GitHub username].github.io".
3. Clone it locally.
4. Start making changes to the content on the page.
5. Here are some of the changes I made:
a). _config.yml: Change the main stuff like name, description, bio and some social media handles like Twitter and Youtube.
b). _data/navigation.yml: Add or remove navigation titles based on your needs.
c). Images/profile.png: Replace profile.png with your profile picture (keeping the same filename).
d). _pages/about.md: Update individual pages like the ‘about’ page. Do the same for other pages as well such as _pages/publications. I just commented out all existing content, and made a bullet point list of publications for different themes of research.
e). _pages/cv.md: If you want to add pdf files to your page, you can put them in the files/ folder. And link to them in the markdown pages using e.g. : [Download File Here] (https://ikitcheng.github.io/files/cv.pdf)
• That’s it for a basic working personal academic website hosted for free on github pages.
