GitHub for Beginners: Getting started with GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is a free and secure hosting service that allows users to turn any GitHub repository with a static website into a live site. Users can deploy their projects using two primary methods: deploying from a branch or using GitHub Actions. When deploying from a branch, users navigate to the repository's settings, select the appropriate branch, and make the site public. Alternatively, GitHub Actions provides a workflow for automated deployment by configuring a workflow file and committing changes. Even for private repositories, the resulting website is public, and users can customize the domain by configuring DNS records with their domain provider, verifying the domain, and enforcing HTTPS for security. This process enables developers to showcase their projects, promote their work, or expand their portfolios, all while benefiting from GitHub's free hosting service.
