-Gitlab.
-
-# Historical notes.
-
-The site used to be updated on www.cse.iitb.ac.in using:
-
-```sh 
-cd ~/devel/web && 
-  /usr/local/bin/jekyll build -d /users/pg13/murukesh/public_html -w --config _config.yml,_sitename.yml
-```
-
-Now, the CSE homepage redirects to my main site using a
-simple `.htaccess`:
-
-    Redirect 301 /~murukesh/ https://murukesh.me/
-
----
-
-`_sitename.yml` is a way of tricking Jekyll into adding a `base-url` to
-the generated URLs.  On Github, the file isn't read and `base-url` is
-empty, leading to absolute URLs from the root of the site. On the CSE
-home folder, `_sitename.yml` defines `base-url` to be `~murukesh`,
-making the URLs relative to my home directory.
-
-----
-
-The site was originally tested in Firefox 22.0 (Desktop), Chrome 28.0
-(Desktop), Chrome 28.0 (Android 4.3), Firefox 22.0 (Android 4.3), Opera
-Mini 7.5 (Android 4.3). Opera Mini faired well, but missed a few steps.
-Probably won't work well in IE < 9. Now I just look at it occasionally on
-Chrome on Ubuntu and my Nexus 5.
-
----
-
-The weird font sizes on Chrome and Firefox on Android are due to font
-boosting. I'll keep it enabled because it does vastly improve
-legibility, and also fits the page (horizontally) within the screen.  To
-disable it, add this meta tag to the head element in each page:
-
-```html
-<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
-```
-
-Or, alternatively:
-
-```html
-<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true">
-```
+The site is written for Jekyll as used by GitHub Pages, but is served using
+Gitlab. It should build and display just fine on GitHub Pages, though.
