GitHub Pages and Publishing

You, Scientist

Activity Objectives

Throughout this activity, you’ll practice the following skills.

  • You’ll build a public web-presence via a GitHub pages website.
  • You’ll populate that page with some basic information.
  • You’ll add a link to your technical report, so that it is viewable by someone who finds your GitHub page.

Note: If you are uncomfortable with having a public web page, please speak with Dr. Duryea or Dr. Gilbert – there are alternatives and you are not being forced to put your information on the web.

Please complete the following tasks.

  1. Watch this video and follow the steps to create your own webpage hosted by GitHub.

  3. Update the README/index using markdown syntax to organize your page. Add whatever information you like to it.
  4. Add a link to your report (the *.html version) and verify that you can view your written report from the link on your website.
