Background

You can add a simple new page to the site without writing any HTML. This is intended for basic content, not for complex layouts, etc.

Instructions

Click the Actions tab near the top of any page in this repository.


Now you will run the action named "Create a new web page".

1. Click the action's name in the left sidebar.

2. Click the gray Run workflow button and a dropdown appears.

3. Enter the name of an existing branch where you will work on the new page.

4. Enter a name for the new page.

5. Click the green Run workflow button and the process begins. Do not change the Branch setting to anything but master.

When the process completes, the branch you named will contain a new file in the pages folder. The filename will be the name you provided, with a .md extension.

You can edit the Markdown contents of this new file. It will become a page in future builds/releases of the site. The permalink (URL) will default to the name that you provided, but you can change this in the file.
