This page shows you how as an example how to start your own Jupyter Book and hosting that book online. It doesn't elaborate on the collaborative functionalities of Git or how to edit the book.
`````{tab-set}
````{tab-item} GitHub template
1. To get started making your Jupyter Book with our functionalities, use the [template book](https://github.com/TeachBooks/template) as template:
```{figure} figures/use_template.png
:name: use-template
```
2. Fill in a repository name, this name will be used in the future url of your book:
```{figure} figures/create_new_repository.png
:name: create_new_repository
```
3. Set source for GitHub pages to under `Settings` - `Pages` - `Build and deployment` - `Source` - `GitHub Actions`:
```{figure} figures/set_up_pages.png
:name: activate_pages
```
4. Set repository website as your GitHub Pages website under `Code`- `About` - - `Website` - `Use your GitHub Pages Website`
```{figure} figures/use_github_pages_website.png
:name: github_pages_as_website
```
4. Wait a few minutes for the website to be deployed, if you're curious, have a look at the progress under `Actions` - `All workflows`:
```{figure} figures/action.png
:name: action
```
5. When the workflow has finished, visit your build book at `https://.github.io/` (case sensitive). For our example it is [https://dummydocent.github.io/test_book_from_template/](https://dummydocent.github.io/test_book_from_template/) for the shown repository.
To learn more about how we do this, please see the [GitHub Actions documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) and our deployment pipeline configuration file `.github/workflows/deploy-book-ghpages.yml` [here](https://github.com/TeachBooks/template/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy-book-ghpages.yml).
