jekyll - How do you remove header on Github Pages?

Question

I am trying GitHub Pages for my developer blog post, unfortunately I am having a hard time deleting the header part after choosing a theme.

Even though I already edited the Readme.md, the header is still there and I can't even remove or edit it. Do you have any idea on how to remove or edit it? There are only 2 files on my repositories: Readme.md and _config.yml

Answer 1

I found you can customize your site CSS to hide the header by creating the file:

/assets/css/style.scss

@import "{{ site.theme }}";

header {
  display: none;
}

This is a closed issue on Github.

That said, you may want to override the HTML layout, so your site doesn't unexpectedly break.
