Get Started – Deploy on GitHub Pages

About Github Pages

GitHub Pages is a free hosting service provided by GitHub, designed for creating and publishing websites directly from a GitHub repository. It allows developers, designers, and anyone with a GitHub account to host personal, project, or organizational websites without needing external hosting services. GitHub Pages works seamlessly with GitHub repositories, automatically generating a static website whenever new content is pushed.

Step 1. Click the “Use this template” button at the top-right corner of the linkyee Template Repo -> “Create a new repository”:

Step 2. Check “Include all branches,” enter your desired GitHub Pages repo name, and click “Create repository” once finished:

The GitHub Pages repo name will affect the access URL. If you enter your-username.github.io as the Repo Name, that will be the direct URL to your GitHub Pages site. If you already have a your-username.github.io repo, the GitHub Pages URL will be your-username.github.io/Repo-Name.

Wait for the fork to complete. You might encounter deployment errors during the initial setup due to forked repo permission issues. Let’s proceed with the steps to adjust this.

Step 4. Go to Settings -> Actions -> General, ensure the following options are selected:

• Actions permissions: Allow all actions and reusable workflows
• Workflow permissions: Read and write permissions

After selecting, click the Save button to save your changes.

Step 5. Go to Settings -> Pages and ensure the selected branch for GitHub Pages is set to “gh-pages”:

The message Your site is live at: XXXX above is your public GitHub Pages access URL.

Step 6. Go to Settings -> Actions and wait for the first deployment to complete:

Step 7. Access the GitHub Pages URL to ensure the fork was successful:

Congratulations! Deployment successful. You can now modify the configuration files with your own data. 🎉🎉🎉

Please note that after each files modification, you need to wait for GitHub Actions to complete the Automatic build and pages build and deployment tasks.

Refresh the page for the changes to take effect. 🚀

Customized

Modify Default Theme

• ./themes/default/index.html
• ./themes/default/styles.css
• ./themes/default/scripts.js

Create a New Theme

1. ./themes/YOUR_THEME
2. Update theme:YOUR_THEME in config.yml file

Yes, you can use GenAI tools like ChatGPT to help you create your own custom link pages!

Automatic Redeployment

By default, the project redeploys automatically once a day to refresh the values of plugin's dynamic variables. You can adjust the cron settings in build.yml:

schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *'  # Runs daily at midnight (00:00 UTC)

If you don’t need scheduled redeployment, simply delete the schedule block.

Custom Domain ❤️❤️❤️

You can set a custom GitHub Pages domain, such as my own: https://link.zhgchg.li.

Follow my tutorial for domain binding. If you’d like, you can purchase a domain through my Namecheap referral link—I’ll earn a small commission, which will help me continue contributing to open-source projects.
