primer VS jekyll-theme-chirpy

GitHub Pages usually works by building your website using a tool called Jekyll. This uses a theme -- it looks like that's Primer in your case -- which describes how websites are formatted, and how they're styled. You can follow their instructions on how to add your own CSS on top of that. Try doing * { color: red; } just to see if you can get your stylesheet working (it should turn all text red), and then go from there.

"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.
