jekyll-theme-chirpy VS Gollum

"Using the Chirpy theme for Jekyll."

Basically I'm trying to setup a github pages website using Chirpy's Theme as a starting point. I seem to have the same problem as reported in this stackoverflow post where I can't seem to be able to save the gh-pages as the deploy branch. However, the issue reported in stackoverflow was from before 2020 when github starting allowing projects to use different branches as sources (at the time the main branch was still called master).

If you wanted it to be EXACTLY like TechnoTim's docs site, you could use Jekyll with Chirpy theme (I viewed the source to figure out how it was made).

I am new to jekyll and I am trying to create a website using the chirpy theme. I am able to get it to run perfectly locally but when I deploy it, all I see is --- layout: home # Index page ---

I made a simple personal website using this Jekyll theme, generated from this template, and deployed in it using GitHub Pages. This repo was not generated from a fork.

Thanks! Here's the theme.

Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend.

Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control https://github.com/gollum/gollum

https://github.com/gollum/gollum ?

For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis.

Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however.

That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software:

Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki. But the backend is just a git repository of markdown files so you can also just use your text editor and git pull/push. Usable by any novice but with the ideal power user interface.

I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch.

I use Gollum, it's very simple but fits my needs.

Gollum would be an excellent solution. It's a web interface to a directory of markdown (or other formats), backed by git. Easy to sync the plain text files on your own devices (e.g. Syncthing) while still having a public web interface for school/work computers.

Gollum could meet the need. Logseq might work as well; here's a potential guide to self-hosting.
