Host your website on GitHub Pages

Did you know that you can host a website on GitHub, for free ?

No ? Then let me show you.

You need to create a repository that has the following name :

for me this would be lachouri.github.io, and make it public.

Then, simply to test it, I am going to create an index.html file with a bit of code and I will push it on github.

• Then initialize the repo with git init
• Create a commit with git add. and git commit -m "First commit"
• Create the main branch with git branch -M main
• Link your local repo to the git repository with git remote add origin https://github.com/yourUsername/yourRepo
• Finally push with git push -u origin main

Wait for a minute or so, and go to the following url: https://yourUsername.github.io and your website appears.
