GitHub Pages Website
The ol’ website be gone!
My old website that I used for blogging and personal documentation was hosted on a webdomain and created with wordpress plugin Elementor. It was a fun first website project but the cost and hustle of logging in, making changes, and making sure everything was up to date called for some new ideas.
An open-source site generator made by GitHub?
Yeah you heard right, it’s free and it’s called Jekyll
Since I started taking GitHub more seriously as I transitioned from Behavioral Science and working with humans to IT, I figured that there had to be a easier way to document and publish my projects online.
After some research I found out that GitHub has its own version of websites called GitHub Pages, and along with GitHub Actions I could create something simple, effective, and test out new technologies on my quest of one day working as a DevOps / Cloud Engineer.
I found a Jekyll theme called Chirpy that seemed simple enough, with good SEO, does not require a database, no upgrades or updates, is easy to maintain and blazing fast. A place where I could centralize my notes and posts and have them easily accessible from the web
Feeling the buzz of making your own website?
