Generates a page of your GitHub repositories. Useful for a user/org GitHub Pages site when you're not sure what to put there.
Just fork this repository, then rename it <your-username>.github.io. You may need
to make a commit for GitHub to generate the site (just add a space to
_config.yml or something).
But you'll need to make a change each time you create or change one of your repos, so this page will regenerate.
Prefer to use a project page instead of a user/org page? You'll just have to rename
the master branch to gh-pages. You'll have to do that using the GitHub Desktop
application or at the command line though. :-/
You can change the way the repositories are sorted by editing
_config.yml.
GitHub Pages provides some metadata
to Jekyll in the site.github object, including a list of your repositories.
That's all there is to it, really.
To customize the theme or make other modifications, you may want to work on the site locally. The GitHub Pages gem can simulate the GitHub Pages environment.
