The personal-website repository is an official starter template provided by GitHub to help developers and creators launch their personal websites quickly and easily. It contains a preconfigured static website built with Jekyll and structured folders (like _data, _layouts, _posts, and assets) so you can showcase your portfolio, blog posts, and profile without having to set up everything from scratch; when hosted on GitHub Pages it can automatically render and publish your site. The content structure is designed to pull in your GitHub profile information, featured repositories, and other metadata to highlight your work as a software developer or technologist, and you can customize pages to reflect your unique voice and career goals. Because it uses GitHub Pages—a free static web hosting feature of GitHub—you can maintain and update your live website simply by pushing changes to the repository, turning version control into your deployment pipeline.
