Make your own blog
Create new GitHub repository
Firstly, we have to create new repository at GitHub to save all the static files.
Get on to GitHub and click on New Repository
Difference between User and Project Page
| USER | Project | |
|---|---|---|
| URL | username.github.io |
username.github.io/repository_name |
Unless you are willing to make a sub directory under your root domain username.github.io/example, name your repository with username.github.io or username.github.com.
But both of them will have domain username.github.io

Now, lets try generate static files and push it to GitHub.
1 | hexo g -d |
In most of the cases, you can write your post or draft and check on your local server before you push it to remote.
After push, you can check your blog at user_name.github.io.
In my situation, it will be augusdn.github.io
Write a new post
Lets make a new post with following command1
$ hexo new post 'post name'
You can check this post file in [blog_folder]/sources/_posts
Edit this file as you like, with Markdown Editor, then check with local server.1
$ hexo server
Then check your new post at localhost:4000
Confirm your posts and generate, then push it to github.1
hexo g -d
