1st post - Hosting this site with Github Pages

Hi, So here is how I created this site.

  1. Clone the repo from https://github.com/cotes2020/chirpy-starter as <username>.github.com
  2. Follow this steps mentioned in this wiki https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/wiki
  3. Make changes to _config.yml and modify the _tabs/about.md page
  4. Add post in the _posts folder example this post is from file called 2025-03-21-1st-post.md
  5. Push the changes to github repo
  6. Enable the Github build action as mentioned in this here - https://chirpy.cotes.page/posts/getting-started/#deploy-using-github-actions
  7. Whenever a new commit is added the changes are automatically built and deployed to the github pages url
