⌨️ Activity: Turn on GitHub Pages
The first step to publishing your blog to the web is to enable GitHub Pages on this repository 📖. When you enable GitHub Pages on a repository, GitHub takes the content that's on the master branch and publishes a website based on its contents.
- Under your repository name, click Settings
- In the "GitHub Pages" section, use the Select source drop-down menu to select the
master branchas your GitHub Pages publishing source. - Click Save
After GitHub Pages is enabled, we'll be ready to create some content.
For a printable version of the steps in this course, check out the Quick Reference Guide.
Turning on GitHub Pages creates a deployment of your repository. I may take up to a minute to respond as I await the deployment.
