academic pages is a ready to fork github pages template for academic personal websites your name site title your name site title publications talks teaching portfolio blog posts cv guide your sidebar name short biography for the left hand sidebar follow earth red brick university email google scholar orcid pubmed github bluesky academic pages is a ready to fork github pages template for academic personal websites this is the front page of a website that is powered by the academic pages template and hosted on github pages github pages is a free service in which websites are built and hosted from code and data stored in a github repository automatically updating when a new commit is made to the repository this template was forked from the minimal mistakes jekyll theme created by michael rose and then extended to support the kinds of content that academics have publications talks teaching a portfolio blog posts and a dynamically generated cv incidentally these same features make it a great template for anyone that needs to show off a professional template you can fork this template right now modify the configuration and markdown files add your own pdfs and other content and have your own site for free with no ads a data driven personal website like many other jekyll based github pages templates academic pages makes you separate the website s content from its form the content metadata of your website are in structured markdown files while various other files constitute the theme specifying how to transform that content metadata into html pages you keep these various markdown md yaml yml html and css files in a public github repository each time you commit and push an update to the repository the github pages service creates static html pages based on these files which are hosted on github s servers free of charge many of the features of dynamic content management systems like wordpress can be achieved in this fashion using a fraction of the computational resources and with far less vulnerability to hacking and ddosing you can also modify the theme to your heart s content without touching the content of your site if you get to a point where you ve broken something in jekyll html css beyond repair your markdown files describing your talks publications etc are safe you can rollback the changes or even delete the repository and start over just be sure to save the markdown files you can also write scripts that process the structured data on the site such as this one that analyzes metadata in pages about talks to display a map of every location you ve given a talk for those users that need more advanced functionality the template also supports the following popular tools mathjax for mathematical equations mermaid for diagraming plotly for plotting getting started register a github account if you don t have one and confirm your e mail required fork this template by clicking the use this template button in the top right go to the repository s settings rightmost item in the tabs that start with code should be below unwatch rename the repository your github username github io which will also be your website s url set site wide configuration and create content metadata see below also see this set of diffs showing what files were changed to set up an example site for a user with the username getorg testacct upload any files like pdfs zip files etc to the files directory they will appear at https your github username github io files example pdf check status by going to the repository settings in the github pages section site wide configuration the main configuration file for the site is in the base directory in _config yml which defines the content in the sidebars and other site wide features you will need to replace the default variables with ones about yourself and your site s github repository the configuration file for the top menu is in _data navigation yml for example if you don t have a portfolio or blog posts you can remove those items from that navigation yml file to remove them from the header create content metadata for site content there is one markdown file for each type of content which are stored in directories like _publications _talks _posts _teaching or _pages for example each talk is a markdown file in the _talks directory at the top of each markdown file is structured data in yaml about the talk which the theme will parse to do lots of cool stuff the same structured data about a talk is used to generate the list of talks on the talks page each individual page for specific talks the talks section for the cv page and the map of places you ve given a talk if you run this python file or jupyter notebook which creates the html for the map based on the contents of the _talks directory markdown generator the repository includes a set of jupyter notebooks that converts a csv containing structured data about talks or presentations into individual markdown files that will be properly formatted for the academic pages template the sample csvs in that directory are the ones i used to create my own personal website at stuartgeiger com my usual workflow is that i keep a spreadsheet of my publications and talks then run the code in these notebooks to generate the markdown files then commit and push them to the github repository how to edit your site s github repository many people use a git client to create files on their local computer and then push them to github s servers if you are not familiar with git you can directly edit these configuration and markdown files directly in the github com interface navigate to a file like this one and click the pencil icon in the top right of the content preview to the right of the raw blame history buttons you can delete a file by clicking the trashcan icon to the right of the pencil icon you can also create new files or upload files by navigating to a directory and clicking the create new file or upload files buttons example editing a markdown file for a talk for more info more info about configuring academic pages can be found in the guide the growing wiki and you can always ask a question on github
