how to set google analytics?

[Oran-Ac]

Hi, I would like to ask if the google analytics can be used by just changing the settings in _config.yml
google_analytics: UA-111540567-4
I tried but I couldn't get any data in google analytics

If changing the setting in _config.yml doesn't work, you may replace the following lines in /_layouts/homepage.html with the code provided by Google Analytics:

minimal-light/_layouts/homepage.html

Lines 84 to 91 in 599feb2

	<script>
	(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
	(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
	m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
	})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
	ga('create', '{{ site.google_analytics }}', 'auto');
	ga('send', 'pageview');
	</script>

@yaoyao-liu please replace the code for g-analytics with below code. I intended to open a PR for this. However, the repo does not provide permission to create a new branch.

    {% if site.google_analytics %}
    <!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id={{ site.google_analytics }}"></script>
    <script>
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());

      gtag('config', '{{ site.google_analytics }}');
    </script>
    {% endif %}
