Favicon with GitHub Pages
I used
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
as well as
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
or
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{{site.url}}/favicon.ico">
None of that worked. Finally I got it working by
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico?">
in fact, seems that any of the above solution with an extra "?" at the end will do the trick.
It also works with favicon.png
<head>
...
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png">
</head>
The only problem is the slash /
in "/favicon.png"
However this does not work for sub-pages!
The link should look like this - so you have the favicon on every page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png"
href="{{ "/assets/images/favicon.png" | absolute_url }}">
The resolved URL looks like:
https://pme123.github.io/scala-adapters/assets/images/favicon.png
This expects the favicon.png
in assets/images
folder of your Jekyll project.
Yes, you can.
Put this into the head
part of your webpage:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
It is important to not put the slash before the favicon.ico
part. Put the favicon.ico
file in your repository's home directory.
