How to add giscus comments to a jekyll blog
This is actually quite easy, but there are a few steps required before just adding the code to your web page.
Step 1 - Enable GH discussions
The way that giscus works is by creating GitHub discussion posts for each page and then displaying that discussion on the webpage. To enable GH discussions, head to your repo’s settings page, and scroll down to the features section. From there, simply enable discussions.
You may want to clear out the extra categories here, but make sure you leave at least one announcements channel, as that’s what you’ll want to use for giscus.
Step 2 - Generate giscus code
Head to the giscus website and follow the instructions there. Then select the discussion category as the announcements one you setup earlier and copy the code.
Step 3 - Insert into blog
Now, head to your website’s code, and scroll to the bottom of your posts template. Here, insert the code you generated earlier, and you’re good to go! Hope this helped, make sure to leave a comment if so.

How to add giscus comments to a jekyll blog
There’s a few things certain in life: death, taxes and Spotify’s shuffle algorithm eternally sucking ass. We all know the problem, you go to listen to your miles long playlist, hoping to find some long-lost music to rediscover, just to be given the same 10 or so songs as always? Every time I try to shuffle my playlist, I mourn the death of Google Play Music and accept my fate.
