Part 2: Maintain the website
1. Sign up for a free GitHub account
2. Go to the current repository I use for community garden map. Click “fork” on the top right corner to make your own copy of the map.
3. Your new repository automatically starts opens the “master” branch. Go to “branches” and delete all branches besides the master branch. Use the drop-down menu to create a new branch, and name it “gh-pages” (which is short for GitHub Pages), and press enter or return on your keyboard.
4. Go to gh-pages and README.md file to change the link to your new map. Click on the second icon, “edit”, to make changes. Under “Demo”, there’s the current link to the map: http://doris0221.github.io/fusion-point-polygon-4/index.html. Delete “doris0221”, which is my username, and change it into your username. Scroll down to the bottom and click on green button to “commit changes”.
Part 3: Change website and map appearance:
1. Stay on gh-pages and go into index.html. Click “edit” to make changes. Read in detailed and pay attention to where it says “MODIFY”.
2. For example, if you want to change the title that appears on the website, simply look for the current title “KNOX Community Gardens Map” and replace it with the new title.
3. In index.html, you can change the following features:
Website title
Description on the top left corner
Address tool
Filter tool (checkbox icon color and titles)
