How to create Jekyll blog using Github Pages - Jekyll Tutorial 4

[No CLI used] In this video, I'm creating a beautiful Jekyll blog on Github Pages. In the previous videos, I have shown

1. How to how to create a website using Github Pages.
2. How to host them on Github Pages using gh-pages branch.
3. How to add a custom domain or URL to the website hosted on Github.
4. How to add a subdomain to a website hosted on Github Pages.

This is the 4th video showing how you can blog on Github Pages. This is fairly easy when compared to all other things I showed in my previous videos.

Websites I referred to in the video-

Key Notes:

2. If there is a CNAME file already present when you forked a repository, please delete the file or the contents inside it. Otherwise, it may redirect you to a different website.

3. Every time you make a change in the forked repository, please wait until the change shows up in the website. Jekyll takes a moment to generate static pages.

4. If there is any error in building page, Github sends a mail to the email you have used while signing up. Read it to see what went wrong.

If nothing works, comment here. I will try to fix it for you.

I will be updating more videos on how to add a comment section, google analytics, adsense and more to a Jekyll blog. Subscribe to get the updates.
Happy Blogging

* No CLI or Terminal
* Only HTML coding

Thanks for these tutorials, they have been super clear and useful. My website is still in progress and it is not yet on my official domain, but as soon as I have something presentable I would like to show you because you are really key in this process.

Tip: Instead of waiting for 10-15 minutes for the web page to show up, simply change something in _config.yml (like changing the name from emerald to something else) and save it. GitHub would be forced to update it immediately hence the web page will be up immediately after that.

I am a beginner, and this was very helpful -- thank you!

WOW! That's really a very nice series. Good work. But working with gh-pages we need to wait for 10-15 mins so Are we can change the hosting from github to Shopify or other hosting providers? I mean Why you choose github? Will wait for your reply.

Nice tutorial, I dont follow one thing -

Are we supposed to use html5 up templates or jekyll to create a website ?
Sorry if it's a dumb question but I', m not exactly sure how to choose between the two ...

Could you help me understand when I should be using gh-pages and when I should be using the master branch?

Also, thank you for this amazing tutorial.

[remeshabhijith]

I have forked a theme as specified onto the branch gh-pages. It's been a while around 1 hr that the site link still displays 404?

Could you please let me know?

[kristinagagalova]

Thank you for the tutorial. One question: how do you change the Logo in the main page and the title? Thanks

[lyminhhoang]

Thank you for the great tutorial. How can I display the Mathematics equations in the blog?

[parthravrani]

Great tutorial..

But is it is safe to host a blog using GitHub, because everyone can fork your repository, thus get a clone directly...

Sry if it's a dumb question...
But I really don't know...

[malharjajoo]

Basically any change you make, you need to wait 10 min everytime to see the changes ??

[srinivasakumar.a]

Nice Videos. I have one question related to the domain names. You have already hosted a website webjeda.com and when you added the blog to this site, how did you change the name to blog.webjeda.com? may be you can share the cname file content. That will be helpful. Thanks
