12 Apr 2020 - Kovacs J Giulia

Create a new repository https://github.com/kissjgabi/kiss.git on the github.

Create a root directory for the project on your local computer and use it:


~$ cd git/kissjgabiGIT/kiss

Init git with the remote repository


~/git/kissjgabiGIT/kiss$ git init
~/git/kissjgabiGIT/kiss$ git remote add origin https://github.com/kissjgabi/kiss.git
~/git/kissjgabiGIT/kiss$ git pull origin master

Create a „_config.yml” in the root with the following minimum content:


title: K.I.S.S.
email: b6@b6sics.hu

#  >-  means to ignore newlines until next variable (-> baseurl)
description: >- 
  Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this
  line in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for
  Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description.

baseurl: "/kiss"
url: "https://kissjgabi.github.io"

twitter_username: "kissjgabi"
github_username:  "kissjgabi"
