Take a look at the ICLR example in that repository.

Since you’re a CS student, you may have some coding experience, so maybe you’d be interested in using this Jekyll theme made for academics, specifically students: https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio

Hi folks! I've been trying to set up a website for graduate school a while now as my old one has outlived it's usefulness but can't seem to settle on an appropriate one. I would really appreciate it if folks could point me to their sites or sites that they really liked! Unfortunately, my search has only led me to the Wowchemy academic and the al-folio themes. Please do comment if you've come across any nice themes/templates/sites that you really like! Markdown support is preferred but I can make do without! Thanks

I think static site generators are by far the best way to go. It reduces complexity and allows you to write in stuff like Markdown so it massively saves time. I like al-folio: https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio

Jekyll website has a great step-by-step tutorial to help you to set up a Jekyll driven static website from scratch. Once you have understood how Jekyll works, you can choose an existing template or themes to speed up the website building. There are plenty of themes in Jekyll showcases and Jekyll Themes which can reuse in your private website. After doing some research I finally choose alshedivat/al-folio.

GitHub Pages: Host your site directly from a GitHub repository.

GitHub Pages - platform provided by GitHub, the leading company that provides source code hosting. The service is well-known among many software developers.

It was long my desire to write a blog with stuff that interests me. Lately i was studying Golang and i came across Hugo which is a really nice and fast site generation utility. This was a great opportunity to start my own blog by using Hugo and Github Pages in order to host it. Why?

GitHub Pages - (https://pages.github.com/) – if you already have a git account, kindly ignore this.

If you do not need a domain you can also publish a static page as your blog on Github: https://pages.github.com

If you don't want to use Jekyll as your static site generator for GitHub Pages and you want to have a custom domain for your GitHub Pages. This post is for you!

At the end of my last post, we had a structure in place that used GitHub Actions to run a workflow every time a change was committed to the PPC repository. That workflow would rebuild the website and publish it on GitHub Pages.

This guide will walk you through a comprehensive and straightforward approach to configuring GitHub Actions for Vue and Vite applications and using GitHub Pages for deployment, providing you with a clear and practical roadmap to implement CI/CD pipelines from scratch.

One day my friend Brandon Boone presented me with a quick and easy way to get a free landing page with a clean subdomain - GitHub Pages.

One of the nicest things about static site generators is that Github is offering a fully integrated solution for free. They manage your files using Git, will build your website using ANY static site generator with Github Actions, and allow you to host the output on Github Pages. When you use Frontmatter.codes in Visual Studio Code you will even get a fully featured (and free) CMS.
