You can get started with GitLab Pages using Jekyll easily by either forking this repository or by uploading a new/existing Jekyll project.
Remember you need to wait for your site to build before you will be able to see your changes. You can track the build on the Pipelines tab.

- Enable Shared Runners. Go to Settings (⚙) > Pipelines and click the "Enable shared Runners" button.
- Rename the repository to match the name you want for your site.

To use this project as your user/group website, you will need one additional
step: just rename your project to namespace.gitlab.io
, where namespace
is
your username
or groupname
. This can be done by navigating to your
project's Settings.
Read more about user/group Pages and project Pages.
If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's Settings and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.
- jekyll-branched demonstrates how you can keep your GitLab Pages site in one branch and your project's source code in another.
- The jekyll-themes group contains a collection of example projects you can fork (like this one) having different visual styles.
- CSS is missing! That means two things:
- Either that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your templates, or
- your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be explicitly set in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
