Assuming you have Ruby and Bundler installed on your system (hint: for ease of managing ruby gems, consider using rbenv), first fork the theme from github.com:alshedivat/al-folio to github.com:<your-username>/<your-repo-name> and do the following:. Now, feel free to customize the theme however you like (don't forget to change the name!). After you are done, commit your final changes.
Rename your repository to <your-github-username>.github.io or <your-github-orgname>.github.io.
In _config.yml, set url to https://<your-github-username>.github.io and leave baseurl empty.
Set up automatic deployment of your webpage (see instructions below).
Make changes, commit, and push!
After deployment, the webpage will become available at <your-github-username>.github.io.
In _config.yml, set url to https://<your-github-username>.github.io and baseurl to /<your-repository-name>/.
Set up automatic deployment of your webpage (see instructions below).

Click on Actions tab and Enable GitHub Actions; do not worry about creating any workflows as everything has already been set for you.
Make any other changes to your webpage, commit, and push. This will automatically trigger the Deploy action.
Wait for a few minutes and let the action complete. You can see the progress in the Actions tab. If completed successfully, in addition to the master branch, your repository should now have a newly built gh-pages branch.
Finally, in the Settings of your repository, in the Pages section, set the branch to gh-pages (NOT to master). For more details, see Configuring a publishing source for your GitHub Pages site.
