1. Favicon

  Favicon is main icon of your git blog. If you set yout favicon, then you can see what like the pic below.

2. How to set a favicon

  First, I am using the jekyll theme, ‘Yat’. So, What I introduce in this section is only applied to the same theme.

  1. Prepare an image that you want to set for your favicon.

  2. Go to realfavicongenerator.

  3. Upload your image. Click ‘Select your Favicon Image’.

  4. Downlaod your package. Click ‘Favicon package’ in the image below. Now, you get a zip file.

  5. Decompress the zip file. Rename the file decompressed to ‘favicon.ico’.

  6. Move the file into ‘assets’ folder.

  7. Copy the code in the image above. And, paste that at /_includes/custom_head.html. You have to copy the relative path of ‘favicon.ico’ folder, and paste that at the {folder_path} in the code below.

  8. Go to ‘_config.yml’, and set the relative path of ‘favicon.ico’ file in the ‘favicon.ico’ folder the value of favicon.
