Getting Starting with Xanthan

Build a website in 10 minutes

• Create an account at GitHub. Make note of your GITHUB-USERNAME.
• Rather than create everything from scratch, start with a basic set of core files. Go to the xanthan repository
• Click the green “Use this Template” button
• Name your repository, which we call REPOSITORY below. You can always rename it later or delete it and start over.
• Go into the settings menu (the gear menu on the right of the top nav bar)
• On the left, click the link for “Pages”.
• Under the Build & Deployment section, make sure GitHub Actions is selected.
• Note the URL that appears there in the form of http://GIHUB-USERNAME.github.io/REPOSITORY. Replace GITHUB-USERNAME with your GitHub username, and REPOSITORY with your repository name. Your final URL should loook like http://fwgibbs.github.io/xanthan
• Click on that URL, and you’ll likely get a Page Not Found error.
• Wait a minute for GitHub to build your site, and refresh the page (Ctrl or Cmd R).

Congratualtions! You’ve made a website!
