[gentoo-user] howto make github look nice

2015-05-18 Thread James
Howdy,

One of the things I find ugly about github is the first appearance
of the main (base) page of a given project.  One thing I really like about
sourceforge is how some projects look much more professional. I do not need
(nor want) a lecture on why this is. I only want solutions or ideas of how
to create a github base page that looks much more (www) presentable like
this sourceforge page:

http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/


So ideas on how to do this are most appreciated; or facts as to why
it is not possible with github. Also notice in the 'menu bar' the
[GIT] functionality built in. Slick. Really slick and this is how I want
my pages to look, as soon as I become brave enough to start moving codes
from my workstations (ugly; no gui) to the larger world for folks to 
start playing with some codes and overlays.

I want folks to look at my projects and they have an  aesthetically 
pleasing appearance..   (I need an edge!).


curiously,
James

Sourceforge allows you to ftp/scp html pages to a directory which you
have access to and this is the page that project.sf.net points to.
From what I remember they even have access to PHP, and maybe even a
database.

Presumably github has something similar, perhaps googling will help you
out. Heck, maybe it's even done through your git repo. Or maybe post to
a github list?

FWIW, I googled 'github pages' and got a bunch of interesting results.
