## Step 2: Configure your site
|
||
|
||
_You turned on GitHub Pages! :tada:_
|
||
|
||
We'll work in a branch, `my-pages`, that I created for you to get this site looking great. :sparkle:
|
||
|
||
Jekyll uses a file titled `_config.yml` to store settings for your site, your theme, and reusable content like your site title and GitHub handle. You can check out the `_config.yml` file on the **Code** tab of your repository.
|
||
|
||
We need to use a blog-ready theme. For this activity, we will use a theme named "minima".
|
||
|
||
### :keyboard: Activity: Configure your site
|
||
|
||
1. Browse to the `_config.yml` file in the `my-pages` branch.
|
||
1. In the upper right corner, open the file editor.
|
||
1. Add a `theme:` set to **minima** so it shows in the `_config.yml` file as below:
|
||
```yml
|
||
theme: minima
|
||
```
|
||
1. (optional) You can modify the other configuration variables such as `title:`, `author:`, and `description:` to further customize your site.
|
||
1. Commit your changes.
|
||
1. (optional) Create a pull request to view all the changes you'll make throughout this course. Click the **Pull Requests** tab, click **New pull request**, set `base: main` and `compare:my-pages`.
|
||
1. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) will automatically update to the next step.
