# How to publish your own [neuron] site [neuron] is a note-taking app optimized for publishing, and you can use this template repository to get started with [publishing](https://neuron.zettel.page/778816d3.html) your own neuron site that looks like [one of these][examples]. - Go to - Give your new repository a name, say `mynotes` - Select "*Include all branches*" ([necessary to get the site to publish](https://stackoverflow.com/a/47368231/55246)) - Click "Create repository from template" - Note: if you are on the free GitHub plan, your repository should be public for GitHub to publish it. GitHub will now build the site and serve it at: `https://.github.io/mynotes/`. For more information, see [neuron documentation][neuron] as well as the [GitHub Pages guide](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages). ## Set your site metadata - In your new repository, edit the `neuron.dhall` file to set your site configuration (such as title, author, color theme) to suitable values. ## How to edit and add notes Assuming you have changed the `editUrl` configuration in `neuron.dhall` (see the above section), you can simply click the "edit" icon on the published site to edit any note (see [Editing files in your repository](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/editing-files-in-your-repository) and [Creating new files](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/creating-new-files)). On every change, your site should eventually rebuild. To understand how linking works, read [the neuron guide on Linking][linking]. For other ways to edit your notes (editors, web interface), see the [neuron guide][create]. In particular, [Cerveau](https://www.cerveau.app/) is the easiest way to edit your notes on the go.
