What is GitHub Pages and how do I use it to create a website?

GitHub Pages is a feature of GitHub that allows you to create and host websites directly from your GitHub repository. You can use GitHub Pages to create a personal website, a project website, or a documentation website, among other things.

To use GitHub Pages to create a website, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new repository on GitHub with the name "username.github.io", where "username" is your GitHub username.
  2. Clone the repository to your local machine using Git.
  3. Create an index.html file in the root directory of the repository and add the HTML code for your website.
  4. Commit the changes to your repository and push them to GitHub.
  5. Go to the "Settings" tab of your repository on GitHub.
  6. Scroll down to the "GitHub Pages" section and choose the branch you want to use as the source for your website. This is usually the "main" branch.
  7. Choose a theme for your website, or skip this step if you want to use your own custom CSS.
  8. Click on the "Save" button.

You can access your website at "https://username.github.io". You can also customize your website by adding more HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to your repository, and by configuring your GitHub Pages settings.
