You can do that with different ways, for example:

- add a repository parameter in your `config`:

```auto
[params]
  repository = "https://github.com/group/repo"

```

You have to change both “group” and “repo” in this URL.

- add this line in your template(s):

```auto
<a href="{{ .Site.Params.repository }}/edit/main/content/{{ .File.Path }}">Edit this page</a>

```

As you can see, `/edit/main/` depend on GitHub and on the name of your _main_ branch. And `content` is the folder of your _content_. You must tweak it to suit the template.
