Git GitHub Pages
Host Your Page on GitHub
With GitHub pages, GitHub allows you to host a webpage from your repository. Let's try to use GitHub Pages to host our repository.
Create a New Repository
Start by signing in to GitHub. GitHub pages need a special name and setup to work, so we start by creating a new repository:
This repository needs a special name to function as a GitHub page. It needs
to be your GitHub username, followed by
.github.io:
Push Local Repository to GitHub Pages
We add this new repository as a remote for our local repository, we are calling it
gh-page (for GitHub Pages).
Copy the URL from here:
And add it as a new remote:
Example
git remote add gh-page https://github.com/w3schools-test/w3schools-test.github.io.gitMake sure you are on the master
branch, then push the master
branch to the new remote:
Example
git push gh-page master

Check that the new repository has received all the files:
Check Out Your Own GitHub Page
That looks good, now click the Settings menu and navigate to the Pages tab:
The GitHub page is created, and you can click the URL to view the result!
