Perhaps you need to have a site for some reason, maybe it’s a download page, maybe it’s an information page, or maybe it’s just a site in general, anyways, what you made your site for is not important. What is important is that you will need to get it hosted somewhere, luckily I’ve got your back on this one. All we need to do is make a GitHub Page, and fortunately for you, this guide will show you how, and it’s free just in-case you were wondering.
Things that you may need: GitHub Desktop (So we can actually do this), A website, and a bit of common sense, also a web browser.
Go here: https://github.com, then do as the pictures below do.
Now, we must open up GitHub desktop, and, then after logging in, we’re going to want to open the Git Shell, a picture below will show you what to do to open it.
After you get the shell open, you wan to type the below in, also, make sure that after each line ends, you press enter, because this is not all just one line.
echo "# *yourrepository*" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/*yourgithubusername*/*your repositoryname*.git
git push -u origin master
We then need to do is move the site, and all of its files into the place where the Blue arrow points into, and then make sure that we choose “Make a new branch” and in the new branch name it ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO SAY “gh-pages” if you don’t do this then you won’t get a working site.
Then you can find your site at *your github user name*.github.io/*your github repository*
AND there we go! Now we have free hosting for our website which is great.
