113

114
-
As mentioned above, some files or directories should be removed from your repo:
92
+
1. Remove some files or directories from your repository:
93
+
-`.travis.yml`
94
+
- everything under `.github/`
95
+
- files under `_posts/`
96
+
- folder `docs/`
115
97
116
-
```terminal
117
-
$ rm -rf .travis.yml .github _posts/*
118
-
```
98
+
2. Unless the option `--no-gh` was enabled, setup the GitHub action workflow by renaming `pages-deploy.yml.hook` of directory `.github/workflows/` to `pages-deploy.yml`.
119
99
100
+
3. Automatically create a commit to save the changes.
120
101
121
102
### Configuration
122
103
123
104
Generally, go to `_config.yml` and configure the variables as needed. Some of them are typical options:
124
-
125
105
*`url`
126
-
127
-
Set to your website url and there should be no slash symbol at the tail. Format: `<protocol>://<domain>`.
128
-
129
-
130
106
*`avatar`
131
-
132
-
It defines the image file location of avatar. The sample image is `/assets/img/sample/avatar.jpg`, and should be replaced by your own one(a square image). Notice that a huge image file will increase the load time of your site, so keep your avatar image size as small as possible(may be *<https://tinypng.com/>* will help).
133
-
134
107
*`timezone`
135
-
136
-
To ensure that the posts' release date matches the city you live in, please modify the field `timezone` correctly. A list of all available values can be found on [TimezoneConverter](http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/findzone/findzone) or [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
137
-
138
108
*`theme_mode`
139
-
140
-
There are three options for the theme color scheme:
141
-
142
-
- **dual** - The default color scheme will follow the system settings, but if the system does not support dark mode, or the browser does not support `Media Queries Level 5`, the theme will be displayed as `light` mode by default. Anyway, the bottom left corner of the Sidebar will provide a button for users to switch color schemes.
143
109
144
-
- **dark** - Always show dark mode.
145
-
- **light** - Always show light mode.

Then open a browser and visit to <http://localhost:4000>.

Few days later, you may find that the file changes does not refresh in real time by using `run.sh`. Don't worry, the advanced option `-r` (or `--realtime`) will solve this problem, but it requires [**fswatch**](http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/) to be installed on your machine.
122
+
123
+
### Deployment
157
124
158
-
Few days later, you may find that the file modification(e.g. edits to a post) does not refresh in real time by using `run.sh`. Don't worry, the advanced option `-r` (or `--realtime`) will solve this problem, but it requires [**fswatch**](http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/)to be installed on your machine. Type `-h` for more information.
125
+
Before the deployment begins, checkout the file `_config.yml` and make sure the `url` is configured correctly. Furthermore, if you prefer the [_project site_](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites) and don't use a custom domain, or you want to visit your website with a base url on a web server other than **GitHub Pages**, remember to change the `baseurl` to your project name that starting with a slash. For example, `/project`.
159
126

### Deploying to GitHub Pages
127
+
Assuming you have already gone through the [initialization](#initialization), you can now choose any of the following methods to deploy your website.
161
128
162
-
Before the deployment begins, checkout the file `_config.yml` and make sure that the `url` has been configured. What's more, if you prefer the [Project site on GitHub](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites) and also use the default domain `<username>.github.io`, remember to change the `baseurl` to your project name that starting with a slash. For example, `/project`.
129
+
#### Deploy on GitHub Pages
163
130
164
-
#### Option 1: Built by GitHub Pages
131
+
For security reasons, GitHub Pages build runs on `safe` mode, which restricts us from using tool scripts to generate additional page files. Therefore, we can use GitHub Actions to build the site, store the built site files on a new branch, and use that branch as the source of the Pages service.
165
132
166
-
By deploying the site in this way, you're allowed to push the source code directly to the remote.
133
+
1. Push any commit to `origin/master` to trigger the GitHub Actions workflow. Once the build is complete, a new remote branch called `gh-pages` will appear, which is used to store the built site files.
167
134
168
-
> **Note**: If you want to use any third-party Jekyll plugins that not on [this list](https://pages.github.com/versions/), stop reading the current approach and go to [*Option 2: Build locally*](#option-2-build-locally).
135
+
2. Unless you prefer to project sites, rename your repository to `<username>.github.io` on GitHub.
169
136
170
-
**1**. Rename the repository to:

3. Choose branch `gh-pages` as your GitHub Pages source.

#### Deploy on Other Platforms

On platforms other than GitHub, e.g. GitLab, we cannot enjoy the convenience of **GitHub Actions**. However, we have a tool to make up for this shortcoming.

For security reasons, GitHub Pages runs on `safe` mode, which means the third-party Jekyll plugins or custom scripts won't work. If you want to use any other plugin that not on the [whitelist](https://pages.github.com/versions/), **you have to generate the site locally rather than on GitHub Pages**.

No matter which way you choose to deploy the website on GitHub, please enforce the `HTTPS` for it. See official docs: [Securing your GitHub Pages site with HTTPS](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https).
