Linkshare

A GitHub pages layout to show your links and make it easy to copy them for social sharing

See it in action at https://codepo8.github.io/linkshare/

Customising to your needs

1. Rename the title in the index.md document to your title.

2. The _links folder contains all links that will be shown here. If you want a new category, create a new file copying the template or one of the others. Links need to be lists in markdown format. You also need to change the settings on the top:

• title is the title that will be added to the head of the document and show up in the browser tab
• name is the name of the link to the collection of links in the index page
• permalink is the name of the file that will get generated (this is to avoid having /repo/links/link.html URLs)

Leave the template setting as is.

To remove a category, delete the file.

Customising the copy template

By default, the copied content will be in the following format when you click the copy button:

If you want to change this, edit the sharetemplate.html file in the _includes folder.

• $LINKTEXT will get replaced with the text inside the link
• $URL will get replaced with the URL
• $TEXT will get replaced with the text following the link in your lists

Changing the look and feel

You can do this by editing the styles.css file for all the layout bits. All the colours for dark and light mode are defined in dark-theme.css and light-theme.css.

Hosting

To host linkshare yourself, fork it and set up GitHub Pages for the repo.
