A sample blog page that demonstrates the accessing of github meta data.
## What does Github-MetaData do?
* Propagates the site.github namespace with repository metadata
* Setting site variables :
* site.title
* site.description
* site.url
* site.baseurl
* Accessing the metadata - duh.
* Generating edittable links.
## Additional Reading
* If you're recieving incorrect/missing data, you may need to perform a Github API<a href="https://github.com/jekyll/github-metadata/blob/master/docs/authentication.md"> authentication</a>.
* Go through this <a href="https://jekyll.github.io/github-metadata/" target="blank">README</a> for more details on the topic.
* <a href= "https://github.com/jekyll/github-metadata/blob/master/docs/site.github.md">This page</a> highlights all the feilds you can access with github-metadata.
