unitautogen.com

The UnitAutogen website. One Jekyll site, built by GitHub Pages on every push. No CI, no local build needed.

Layout

_config.yml            site settings, default nav/footer, post defaults
_layouts/default.html  the one page skeleton: <head>, header, footer
_layouts/post.html     blog article wrapper (title, byline, back links)
assets/css/site.css    the one stylesheet
assets/                images, logo
index.html             home
sql-server.html        product page
postgresql.html        product page
blog/index.html        blog listing (loops over _posts)
_posts/                one file per post: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.html  ->  /blog/slug.html
feed.xml, sitemap.xml  generated (jekyll-feed, jekyll-sitemap)

Every page starts with a front-matter block (between --- lines): title, description, and optionally its own nav and footer_*. Everything after the block is the page body only. Header, footer and CSS come from the layout.

Publishing (first time)

1. Repo: unitautogen/unitautogen.com (already created). Push this folder to it (GitHub Desktop).
2. Repo Settings -> Pages -> Build and deployment: Source "Deploy from a branch", Branch main, folder / (root). Save.
3. Wait about a minute. The site is at https://unitautogen.github.io/unitautogen.com/ (baseurl in _config.yml is set for this). The Actions tab shows the "pages build and deployment" run if anything fails.

Cut-over to unitautogen.com (done 2026-09-21; kept for reference)

1. In the SQL Server repo (unitautogen-public-repo): delete CNAME, index.html, sql-server.html, postgresql.html, blog/, feed.xml, assets/ (keep docs/). Push.
2. In this repo: add a CNAME file containing unitautogen.com; in _config.yml set url: "https://unitautogen.com" and baseurl: "". Push.
3. Repo Settings -> Pages -> Custom domain: unitautogen.com, tick "Enforce HTTPS" once the check passes.
4. DNS stays as it is (it already points at GitHub Pages).

Day to day

• New blog post: add _posts/2026-10-05-my-slug.html with a front-matter block (title, date, description, excerpt) and the article body (HTML or Markdown, use .md for Markdown). The listing and feed update themselves.
• New page: copy postgresql.html, change the front matter and body.
• Change the header/footer/CSS once in _layouts/default.html / assets/css/site.css.
