Question: how to set up a landing page?

[sithamet]

On https://tianqi.name/, you have a landing page in the root directory, and blog on https://tianqi.name/blog

How should I configure my config.yml to achieve the same setup?

@sithamet there are various ways to do that, two of which require you two first create a repository with the name username.github.io and create your landing page there, and then either:

1. Fork this repo into your account into the gh-page branch with the name teXt. So now your landing page will be .github.io and blog will be at username.github.io/teXt
2. Clone the repo into your system. Use Jekyll to generate the site data under the site folder and copy the folder into your username.github.io repo with the appropriate name you want.

You can check my website where I use the 1st method. https://xmehulx.github.io (my landing page, the repo is hidden) https://xmehulx.github.io/terminal (teXt theme in a new repo)

Thanks a lot, @xmehulx , I can't even express how grateful I am now. While I (almost) figured it out by myself, your reply has given me a push to finally complete my website in a way I want.
