How to host website using Github Pages

Github can be used to freely host a static website. This service is called Github Pages. Only one static website is allowed for each Github user and the static website will have the URL your-username.github.io.

Creating your static website using Github Pages is easy:

• Create a new repository on Github and name it your-username.github.io.
• Clone it locally and add the static content that you want to serve to the repository. You can add HTML, CSS, Javascript and image files. For example, if you add a foobar.html at the root directory of the repository, it will end up being served at your-username.github.io/foobar.html.
• Push your repository to Github. Your content should be served online within a couple of minutes. Only the first time you pushed static content, it might take longer, like 10-15 minutes to be served.
