Building a GitHub Pages website with a Jekyll theme has become significantly easier, requiring only a few clicks to set up. Users can start by creating a new GitHub repository or using an existing one, then select a theme through the theme chooser in the GitHub Pages settings. Jekyll themes allow website content to be stored in Markdown files, which can be edited and managed using a preferred Git workflow, and new pages can be added by committing additional Markdown files. This new method replaces the old automatic page generator, ensuring that sites previously created with it will seamlessly transition to a matching Jekyll theme upon using the theme chooser. All themes available through the chooser are open source, and further guidance can be found in the documentation.
