Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

Quickstart guide implies that a new pages site includes _config.yml (it probably used to) and it does not. I'm creating this issue because I have a PR to fix it. I just walked through these steps myself to create, welp, my first pages site.

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The steps to update _config.yml which should be CREATE _config.yml

    @vtwebguy It looks like this was fixed in #44821

    Please accept our apologies that you weren't informed or given co-committer attribution for this, and that we're only coming back to this now, as you were correct.

    Unfortunately there's nothing more I can do at this stage other than close this as a duplicate, but we hope to see you again in future 🙇
