How I set up this website
Firstly I’ve found Techno Tim’s video about Jekyll, which uses the Chirpy’s Theme. From there was just a matter of following the different tutorials available. However, I had a problem where, when trying to save the gh-pages as my source branch for deployment, the save button would be greyed out. This was asked in stackoverflow. While there is no reasoning and real fix, there is the walk around of inspecting the button and removing the disabled attribute.
