Fix GitHub Pages deployment styling issues by correcting Jekyll configuration

[Copilot]

Problem

GitHub Pages deployment shows styling issues with oversized logo and broken layout, while local Jekyll server works correctly.

Root Cause Analysis

The issue was caused by incorrect Jekyll configuration in _config.yml:

1. Incorrect baseurl: Set to "" instead of /ai-clacky-workshop-tutorial
2. Incorrect url: Set to full repository path instead of base domain
3. Theme files excluded: Critical theme directories (_includes/, _layouts/, assets/css/, assets/js/) were incorrectly excluded from build

Changes Made

Fixed baseurl and url configuration

# Before
baseurl: ""
url: "https://codinggirlsclub.github.io/ai-clacky-workshop-tutorial"

# After  
baseurl: "/ai-clacky-workshop-tutorial"
url: "https://codinggirlsclub.github.io"

Removed theme-critical directories from exclude list

# Before
exclude:
  - docs/
  - .github/
  - Gemfile
  - Gemfile.lock
  - vendor/
  - README.md
  - _includes/     # ❌ Theme needs this
  - _layouts/      # ❌ Theme needs this  
  - assets/css/    # ❌ Theme needs this
  - assets/js/     # ❌ Theme needs this

# After
exclude:
  - docs/
  - .github/
  - Gemfile
  - Gemfile.lock
  - vendor/
  - README.md
  # Removed theme-critical directories

Updated .gitignore

Added proper exclusions for Jekyll build artifacts and dependencies:

_site/
.sass-cache/
vendor/
.bundle/
Gemfile.lock

Validation

✅ Jekyll builds successfully with new configuration
✅ Asset paths now correctly include baseurl prefix (/ai-clacky-workshop-tutorial/assets/...)
✅ Theme files no longer excluded from build process

Expected Result

GitHub Pages deployment will now display with:

• Proper logo sizing
• Correct theme styling and layout
• Working CSS and JavaScript assets
• Consistent appearance with local development

The site will be accessible at https://codinggirlsclub.github.io/ai-clacky-workshop-tutorial with all styling properly applied.
