Creating a repository for your site

{{ site.data.reusables.pages.new-or-existing-repo }}

{{ site.data.reusables.pages.private_pages_are_public_warning }}

{{ site.data.reusables.repositories.create_new }} {{ site.data.reusables.repositories.owner-drop-down }} {{ site.data.reusables.pages.create-repo-name }} {{ site.data.reusables.repositories.choose-repo-visibility }} {{ site.data.reusables.repositories.initialize-with-readme }} {{ site.data.reusables.repositories.create-repo }}

Creating your site

{{ site.data.reusables.pages.must-have-repo-first }}

{{ site.data.reusables.pages.navigate-site-repo }} {{ site.data.reusables.pages.decide-publishing-source }} 3. If your chosen publishing source already exists, navigate to the publishing source. If your chosen publishing source doesn't exist, create the publishing source. 4. In the root of the publishing source, create a new file called index.md that contains the content you want to display on the main page of your site. {{ site.data.reusables.pages.configure-publishing-source }} {{ site.data.reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings }} {{ site.data.reusables.pages.visit-site }}

{{ site.data.reusables.pages.admin-must-push }}

Next steps

You can add more pages to your site by creating more new files. Each file will be available on your site in the same directory structure as your publishing source. For example, if the publishing source for your project site is the gh-pages branch, and you create a new file called /about/contact-us.md on the gh-pages branch, the file will be available at {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}https://<user>.github.io/<repository>/{% else %}http(s):///pages///{% endif %}about/contact-us.md`.

You can also add a theme to customize your sites look and feel. For more information, see {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}"Adding a theme to your {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_pages }} site with the theme chooser{% else %}"Adding a theme to your {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_pages }} site using Jekyll{% endif %}."

To customize your site even more, you can use Jekyll, a static site generator with built-in support for {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_pages }}. For more information, see "About {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_pages }} and Jekyll."
