| ## How to Build a Free Website using GitHub Pages | |
| Friday, Feb 3 | |
| *Suellen Stringer-Hye* | |
| ### Workshop Description | |
| Did you know it’s possible to host a website freely using your GitHub repository? We’ll show you how to use GitHub Pages to create a static HTML website with all the benefits of version control. We’ll also take a look at Jekyll, a tool for generating websites from Markdown. Jekyll is now built in to Github making it much easier to use Jekyll themes. By the end, you’ll be ready to roll your own website for coursework or scholarly projects. | |
