How I setup this blog

Would you like to setup a blog similar to this?

The setup for this is really simple, all that is needed is:

  • A code editor
  • A domain (if you’d like the URL to be customized)
  • GitHub This project is completely free, with an optional cost for the domain.
  1. Create a GitHub account
    Github is a free website for viewing and publishing code. They offer free static web hosting, which will be used for your website.
  2. Navigate to https://github.com/cotes2020/chirpy-starter
  3. Click on Use this template
  4. This will create a GIT repo on GitHub who will host your website.
  5. Edit the config file located at the root of the repository. The options are self explanatory.
  6. Create some posts in the _posts folder.
    Use markdown formatting.
    Post titles must be formatted as such: YYYY-MM-DD-title-here

Post your blogs in the comments, I’d love to see them.

Thank you for reading ;)
