https://cristibalan.github.io/braid/ no longer has a direct link to the repository

Open mattmccutchen opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I noticed that the Braid home page (https://cristibalan.github.io/braid/) no longer has a direct link to this repository (https://github.com/cristibalan/braid). Having such a link would be a courtesy to users, who otherwise have to know that https://USER.github.io/REPO/ corresponds to https://github.com/USER/REPO or go via the RubyGems page or a web search.

I think the link used to be near the top of the page. Indeed, I see in the HTML source code of https://github.com/cristibalan/braid:

        <section id="downloads" class="clearfix">
          
	
        </section>

I assume that our GitHub Pages setup previously filled something into that section automatically but it stopped working at some point.

We'll have to decide on a reasonable fix. Obviously, we could just add a link to the repository somewhere in the README.md, though that may look a bit silly when viewed on https://github.com/cristibalan/braid itself. Or maybe we can fix the GitHub Pages configuration, although certain changes may require administrator permission on the repository, which only Cristi has.

It looks like the branch has been incorrectly overridden. See https://github.com/cristibalan/braid/tree/gh-pages - it just looks like a merge occurred from master.

We should probably just add a new commit that just includes index.md and the relevant github pages files (Maybe investigate the gh-pages.pre20180222 branch?)
