+
+# To create a website from this repository
+
+- Fork this repository (you only need to copy the `main` branch)
+- In your fork, update the `baseURL` in `config/production/config.toml` to reflect your organization and new repository name
+- In your fork, update the markdown files in the `content` folder with your content. In particular make sure to update the information in `folios.md`
+- If you only copied the main branch, at this point you should create a new branch called `dev`. This will have the effect of triggering a workflow that creates the files you'll need to deploy your site to GitHub Pages; those files live in a `gh-pages` branch, which will be created by the workflow
+- Once the workflow is run and the `gh-pages` branch exists, go to the settings tab for your repo and select "Pages" from the menu on the left. Enable GitHub pages and set your site to deploy from a branch, and then select the `gh-pages` branch (and `/root`) folder.
