GitHub Pages is a website hosting service provided by GitHub. GitHub Pages is connected with GitHub repositories. You can publish website documents stored in a GitHub repository very easily.
Having basic knowledge about Git and GitHub is preferable, but even if you don't know how to use Git and GitHub, you can use GitHub Pages.
Here are the key steps to publish a website using GitHub Pages.
We'll explain each step in the practice section below.
Websites hosted in GitHub Pages are available at the following URL
https://username.github.io/repository name/
For a username, use your GitHub account name. For the repository name, use html-css-introduction set in this practice.
You'll see that your website was successfully published.
You can also check the sample result here (Demo Site ).
If you don't want to use an additional path after username.github.io/ in the URL of your website, you need to set username.github.io as a repository name.
For example, when the username of the GitHub account is sky-blue2022, create a repository using sky-blue2022.github.io as the repository name. The website will be accessible at https://sky-blue2022.github.io/.
There are three ways to update a published website. It may usually take a few minutes for the website to be updated.
When you use GitHub Pages, you need to have an index.html file in the project directory used as the entry file. GitHub Pages will look for the index.html file when users access the URL of your website using GitHub Pages. The file name is case-sensitive. You cannot use Index.html as the entry file name.
The entry file must be placed at the top level of the repository so that GitHub Pages can properly access it.
