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:
- Create a new repository on GitHub with the name "username.github.io", where "username" is your GitHub username.
- Clone the repository to your local machine using Git.
- Create an index.html file in the root directory of the repository and add the HTML code for your website.
- Commit the changes to your repository and push them to GitHub.
- Go to the "Settings" tab of your repository on GitHub.
- 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.
- Choose a theme for your website, or skip this step if you want to use your own custom CSS.
- 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.
