### Overriding GitHub-generated URLs
Templates often rely on URLs supplied by GitHub such as links to your repository or links to download your project. If you'd like to override one or more default URLs:
1. Look at [the template source](https://github.com/pages-themes/midnight/blob/master/_layouts/default.html) to determine the name of the variable. It will be in the form of `{{ site.github.zip_url }}`.
2. Specify the URL that you'd like the template to use in your site's `_config.yml`. For example, if the variable was `site.github.url`, you'd add the following:
```yml
github:
zip_url: http://example.com/download.zip
another_url: another value
```
3. When your site is built, Jekyll will use the URL you specified, rather than the default one provided by GitHub.
*Note: You must remove the `site.` prefix, and each variable name (after the `github.`) should be indent with two space below `github:`.*
For more information, see [the Jekyll variables documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/variables/).
