Welcome to Notes

Getting started

GitHub Pages can automatically generate and serve the website for you. Let’s say you have a username/organisation my-org and project my-proj; if you locate Jekyll source under docs folder of master branch in your repo github.com/my-org/my-proj, the website will be served on my-org.github.io/my-proj. The good thing about coupling your documentation with the source repo is, whenever you merge features with regarding content to master branch, it will also be published on the webpage instantly.

1. Just download the source into your repo under docs folder.
2. Edit site settings in _config.yml file according to your project. !!! baseurl should be your website’s relative URI like /my-proj !!!
3. Replace favicon.ico and img/logonav.png with your own logo.

Writing content

Create a folder inside the _docs folder and add .md files inside it and keep you notes inside these files

then open the docs.yml file inside the _data folder and connect the note files as described below

Docs

Docs are collections of pages stored under _docs folder. To create a new page:

1. Create a new Markdown as _docs/my-page.md and write front matter & content such as:

---
title: My Page
permalink: /docs/my-page/
---

Hello World!

2. Add the pagename to _data/docs.yml file in order to list in docs navigation panel:

- title: My Group Title
  docs:
  - my-page

Blog posts

Add a new Markdown file such as 2017-05-09-my-post.md and write the content similar to other post examples.

Pages

The homepage is located under index.html file. You can change the content or design completely different welcome page for your taste. (You can use bootstrap components)
