  2. IMPORTANT: Remove the fork relationship. Go to Settings (⚙) > Edit Project and click the "Remove fork relationship" button.
  3. Enable Shared Runners. Go to Settings (⚙) > CI/CD Pipelines and click the "Enable shared Runners" button.
  4. Rename the repository to match the name you want for your site.

Did you fork this project?

If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's Settings and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.

Troubleshooting

  1. CSS is missing! That means two things:

    Either that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your templates, or your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be explicitly set in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
