How to add Google Analytics Tracking ID to GitHub Pages
github, github-pages, google-analytics
Solution
Update: Added steps descriptions for others
Solved it: had to include `username.github.io` (link that I want to track) in Google Analytics website section.
you can check GitHub help page here
After that I was provided with an Tracker ID.
Note: You can easily change or add more websites on Google Analytics page from your Google Analytics admin panel.
Update 2: - Adding Google Analytics Tracking ID to Already created Github pages (As requested by @avi-aryan )
- Browse to your github pages branch - which would be something like - ( https://github.com/YourUserName/YourRepository/tree/gh-pages )
- Then edit `index.html` from listed files
- Now in within `HEAD` tag of `index.html` - paste your Google Analytics Tracking ID Script ( if have already signed up for Google analytics then you can browse it under admin and then tracking info tab )
Problem
Could be a simple question but I am full of doubts right now about adding Google Analytics Tracking ID to GitHub page. I am using GitHub automatic page generator to create my GitHub page but it asks for "Google Analytics Tracking ID". I tried to sign up with Google Analytics but there on it asks for website URL. Now what I am supposed to do? One more ques: can we add Google Analytics Tracking ID later on after GitHub Page has been created?
