Tutorial on Setting Up a Github Page

GitHub Pages Tutorial

Ted Laderas, Robin Champieux, and Eric Leung

Welcome to the GitHub Pages Tutorial!

With a text editor and GitHub Desktop, you can create a personal website on GitHub. Bring your laptop and we'll explore the fun world of GitHub Pages!

🎆🎉👻🍄🎸✨🎆🎉👻🍄🎸✨🎆🎉

What You Need to Start

• A GitHub Account
• GitHub Desktop
• Text Editor (we prefer Sublime, but Atom is also good)
• File Manager (to rename files)
  • Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder (whatever you have)
• Something to say
• Pictures (optional)

You may want to spend a little time learning how to use markdown, as it'll make putting your content together faster. There is a tutorial here: The Magic of Markdown

Getting Started

If you want to use GitHub Desktop when setting up your website, open up intermediate/githubPagesTutorial.Rmd. Then it's just a matter of following directions.

Our easier version is available in easy/tutorialEasyVersion.Rmd. It only requires a laptop and a GitHub account.

During the workshop, be sure to use your Post-Its if you're stuck, and one of us will help you.
