Today's Deep-Dive: GitHub Pages

Episode description

This episode explains how to easily share your work online using GitHub Pages, a service that allows users to host websites directly from their GitHub accounts. It emphasizes the simplicity of the process, comparing it to a digital binder where files can be turned into a website with minimal hassle. Users can create a main personal website linked to their GitHub username and unlimited project sites for various projects. The key to setting up the main website is naming the repository correctly as “username.github.io.”

To create a website, users need to add an index.html file, which can be done directly through the GitHub website. Once the file is committed, the website can be made live by adjusting the settings in the repository. For those seeking more customization, GitHub Pages offers themes and can integrate with Jekyll, a static site generator for advanced features. The document reassures beginners that even with basic HTML knowledge, they can successfully create and publish their websites. Lastly, it encourages users to explore and share their creations online, highlighting the support of Safeserver for software and digital transformation needs.
