It has wasted a newbie like me hours to fix the problem.
The solution is as follows:
- Create a new repository here, fill in Repository name with
GITHUBID.github.io, and click Create repository button - Download zip file of Jekyll Bootstrap from here 1
- The blog should be able to be opened on http://GITHUBID.github.io/ after running the code 2
mv jekyll-bootstrap-master.zip /path// &&\
cd /path/ &&\
unzip jekyll-bootstrap-master.zip &&\
mv jekyll-bootstrap-master GITHUBID.github.io &&\
cd GITHUBID.github.io &&\
git init &&\
jekyll build &&\
git add . &&\
git commit -m "first commit" &&\
git remote add origin https://github.com/GITHUBID/GITHUBID.github.io.git &&\
git push -u origin master- Create a Google Analytics account by clicking Access Google Analytics button
- Go to Admin - Property Settings - at Default View choose All Web Site Data - Turn on Enable Demographics and Interest Reports and Use enhanced link attribution - Click Save button
- Create google_analytics.html under
_includes/with the content
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'TRACKID', 'GITHUBID.github.io');
ga('require', 'displayfeatures');
ga('require', 'linkid', 'linkid.js');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>- Open
_includes/themes/twitter/default.htmland changeinclude JB/analyticstoinclude google_analytics.html - Run the code under the folder
GITHUBID.github.io
jekyll build && git add . && git commit -m "commit" && git push -u origin masterI also delete some other files but the above steps should be enough to get Google Analytics to work.
