Generate your site through Github Action(Recommending)

1. Folk this project.
2. Gernerate a SSH key for Github Action commit:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C $(git config user.email) -f gh-pages -N ""

It will create two files: gh-pages and gh-pages.pub.
Copy all contents of the gh-pages.pub into Github/Setting/SSH and GPG keys/Add SSH Key.

Copy all contents of the gh-pages into this project(your folkd)/Settings/Secrets/New repository secret. The name must be ACTIONS_DEPLOY_KEY.

3. Create a repository named your_name.github.io.
4. Copy the repository SSH url into this project(your folkd)/Settings/Secrets/New repository secret. The name must be DEPLOY_REPOSITORY.

All done, happy writing.

You can empty all md files in content and all images files in rs/images, those are my demo contents. When you want to reference an image in your article, you should put the file in rs/images. It will be synced to your_name.github.io in which all md files are generated.

Notice: The CNAME file uploading and domain binding and other settings must be configured with yourself.

Showing your site on local

./cider s

Classify your articles

If you want to classify your articles into different groups, you should create a subfolder into content, and then add the folder link into templates/partials/_nav.html.tpl. For example, if you have written an article about English learning, and want to create a English Learning group in your website.

mkdir content/el
mv your_md_file content/el/

Add el into templates/partials/_nav.html.tpl

[ <a class="nav-btn" href="/el/">English</a> ]

Insert an image into your article

Create a images folder in public, copy your picture into the folder, write the relative path in your article.

![your_picture](/images/your_picture.jpg)
