Minimal-mistakes: GitHub pages build warning

[sfdye]

Hi,

Thanks for the awesome jekyll template. I built my site using your theme and deployed to netlify. (not GitHub pages)

Might not be the best place to ask, but every time I commit I got this warning from GitHub. Is there a way disable to this annoying message?

The page build completed successfully, but returned the following warning for the master branch:

You are attempting to use a Jekyll theme, "minimal-mistakes-jekyll", which is not supported by GitHub Pages. Please visit https://pages.github.com/themes/ for a list of supported themes. If you are using the "theme" configuration variable for something other than a Jekyll theme, we recommend you rename this variable throughout your site. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-jekyll-theme-to-your-github-pages-site/.

For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see:

https://help.github.com/articles/troubleshooting-jekyll-builds

If you have any questions you can contact us by replying to this email.

I can't disable GitHub Page either.

Just follow these instructions to get your site running on github pages. You have to modify your Gemfile and your _config.yml if you want to build off gh-pages. Also, check out this repository.

The thing is, I don’t want to use GitHub Page, because my site is already hosted somewhere else. I need GitHub only as my version control system whilst disabling the warning. Any idea?

You can make new branch, set it as default and delete master.

Unpublishing a User Pages site
You may want to unpublish your GitHub User Pages site if the content is no longer relevant or you no longer want it to be publicly available.

To unpublish your User Pages site, delete the master branch or delete your username.github.io repository

Or just make a simple e-mail filtering rule...

@nickgarlis different branch will actually work, I was thinking the same.

It's shame GitHub doesn't provide a unsubscribe feature for these emails.

[sfdye]

@ohadschn Yeah, this works too but I have to set the rule on different email clients or different devices.

[ohadschn]

@sfdye not sure what your e-mail provider is, but usually (GMail, Exchange, etc) you can set filters on the server side (so no need to set it up on multiple clients).

[sfdye]

@ohadschn interesting, thanks! didn't know Gmail supports that. Anyway, I just deleted master branch and created another branch, problem solved.
