You can host a small web application or a simple website for free. Of course, it takes a little more effort, but it’s worth the money. GitHub pages are one of these options.

What are GitHub Pages?

GitHub Pages is a service created by GitHub that allows you to build a website or web application by storing it in a free GitHub repository. You can host a complete website with different pages. The website code is stored in the GitHub repository, and GitHub publishes it so that it can be accessed on any laptop or computer.

GatHub is a popular version control service for computer programmers who use Github to store and control code. The code is stored in repositories, containers on a cloud server that allow you to access it from all your computers.

After installing the gateway, you can create new repositories using the GatHub website or the command line. Repositories can be named, public or private, and store code in any language. Once you have created your repository with the gateway, you can extract your code from the server, make changes, and then upload it back to the gateway.

Set up a website on GitHub pages. 

The process of hosting a website using GitHub pages is divided into three steps:

1- Creating a gateway account

2- Building a new tank

3- Edit code and upload on GitHub

Creating a gateway account 

You must have the gate installed and registered. Then, choose a username and register using your email address and password. Then, go to the home page.

You can see the “repositories” section on the GitHub home page. This section lists all your repositories and has a “New” Button allowing you to create a new repository. Click “New” to go to a new page. You must first enter the name of your repository:

For example, if your username is Jake, your repository name will be Jake.github.io. After the username, you can also add a description to your repository. Then select the “public” or “private” option. Public means that others can correct the site, but private means that only you can.
Finally, you can create a README File for your repository, which is responsible for archiving projects. Then select “Create repository” to finish the job.

Edit and upload a website. 

Now, go to the command line terminal and run the following command. Remember that [USERNAME] must be with your username:

Gate’s “clone” feature makes a copy of the repository on your computer so you can edit your code. Any changes you make to this code will be saved in the main repository. Now that the repository is in a saved folder, enter the folder using the terminal or click on it. Create an index.html file in the folder.

Open the HTML File in your text editor and line.

Enter by typing “Hello”. This is a line for displaying text. Then, go to the folder containing the code. Now, you can enter the changes in the repository by executing this gate code:

View the GitHub pages website. 

Open your browser to https: // [USERNAME] .github.io. Here, you can see your website, which will run on any browser and any device.
