Jekyll and multiple gh pages

Help
#1

Hello!
I’d like to use uno theme as my main page


and then like to use this theme for my photos:

Is it possible to then have one of the links in “uno” to point to “lens”?
This would imply to have multiple github pages, I think. Am I going in the right direction?

Thanks
Gianpaolo

Yep, you’re absolutely on the right path.

Using Github Pages terminology, you’d have one repo set up as the User site (e.g. yourname.github.io) and the other set up as a Project site.

Ensure the _config.yml for the photos repo specifies baseurl: /photos and you’re good to go.

I’ve had this setup in production for a number of years and it works great.

Indeed. You need multiple repos each serving on their own path.

Here are 3 sites that could exist

Here are the repo names for each

On any of the sites you can have an external url to the other sites. They happen to have a common domain but you must think of them as separate sites

I went through the same question, my pages use remote-theme and i developed a github action that works with scheduler and supports updating multiple gh-pages at the same time.

Jekyll update github pages without new commit · Actions · GitHub Marketplace · GitHub, the action update gh-pages without generate new commits.

name: Update all github pages

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "30 0 * * *"

jobs:
  github-pages:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Update Github Pages Initiatives
    steps:
    - name: Jekyll update github pages without new commit
      uses: DP6/jekyll-update-pages-action@v1.0.1
      with:
