-
1. On the home page of your repo, click Settings. Scroll down to the GitHub pages section and change Source to master branch /docs folder. Above the Source line, a bar will appear with your book's URL. The bar will initially be blue and indicate that your book is ready to be published and will change to green once it is published. Copy the URL. (Note that sometimes there is a delay until your book actually appears at that URL. If it doesn't appear after a few minutes, try making a small change locally, rendering the book, and pushing the changes to trigger a deploy.)
-
2. Click the edit button on the top of the home page of the repo and paste your book URL into the Website field that appears on the right.
At some point before you turn in your project, delete the content of this README and add a short description of your project with a link to the book URL.
