To get started with GitLab Pages from a sample website, the easiest
way to do it is by using one of the [bundled templates](pages_bundled_template.md).

30 minutes to be deployed.
You can also take some **optional** further steps:

To do so, navigate to your project's **Settings**, expand **Advanced settings**, and scroll down to **Remove fork relationship**:
