I am just starting out with storytelling and I wanted to test a hosted template; where you able to get a map working on GitHub? Cause, I could fork esri repository on mine, but when I go to index.html ...nothing opens up.
Hi, Please refer to storymaps website for general help about using our templates (especially the workflow and white paper documents. If you are interested in Map Tour template there is an extensive pdf documentation included in the zip file that will guide you through all the steps.
Some templates are hosted in ArcGIS Online meaning that you won't have any technical steps to perform yourself. If the template you want isn't hosted in ArcGIS Online, a popular option is to use Dropbox to host it. You can also do it through github, but it's more complex, see the procedure.
