Thanks Github, Jekyll and Chirpy

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, built with Jekyll and customised from the Chirpy theme. Without each of these, this site would not be here.

GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages are public webpages hosted and published through GitHub directly from your repository. You can use GitHub Pages to host a page for your open source projects, host a blog, or even share your resume.

Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator, an open-source tool for creating simple yet powerful websites of all shapes and sizes. From the project’s readme:

“Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory […] and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host your project’s page or blog right here from GitHub.”

Find out more by visiting the project on GitHub.

Chirpy

A minimal, responsive, and feature-rich Jekyll theme for technical writing. Open source and hosted on GitHub since 2019.

Follow the tutorials to quickly set up a free personal blog! All documentation is also available in the Wiki.
