Starting project

Find a project in [sample-code] (or use one of your own) that is a static website with an index.html file in the root directory. You can use this as a sample project for the below exercises.

Complete the following

1. First Time Setup
2. Cloning a read-only repo
3. Initializing a new local repo
4. Committing changes to a local repo
5. Create and sync a remote repo
6. Push commits to a remote repo

End of day goal: Publish a website to GitHub Pages

Once you’ve completed the above steps and pushed a static website to GitHub, try publishing it on GH Pages.

Prerequisites

• Remote repo with an index.html in the root directory.
• If you’re publishing your user website (i.e. not one of your repos) your repo must be named <username>.github.io.

Enabling GH Pages

1. Go to the Settings tab of the repo.
2. Scroll down to the “GitHub Pages” section.
3. Select Source as main (it’s sometimes master) and /root.
4. Save your changes.
5. Wait a few minutes and your website should be live at <username>.github.io/<repo-name> (or just <username>.github.io if it’s your user site).

Paste your published site in #winter-2021 and you can go hoooooome at lunch!
