This is my academic website, which is hosted on GitHub pages. It uses Jekyll to generate the pages, however, due to the use of jekyll-scholar, it does not build as a native Jekyll/GitHub pages site.
The default branch for this repo is the source branch.
The website is rendered from the main branch.
The automated build process uses GitHub Actions to automatically generate the static website pages using Jekyll, and then commits them to the main branch. The GitHub Action is fired whenever there is a commit on the source branch on the GitHub server.
The build process follows the instructions of Martino Pilia described in this blog post. Martino has since moved on to using Docker within his steps, but for now I'm sticking with the original process that he described.
Using fontswesome to provide icons for brands. These are self-hosted within the website.

Additional academic icons are provided by academicons. There is some duplication with fontawesome; in general the fontawesome icon is used.
