Hi there! This is a tutorial on how to set up a simple static website with Github Pages created by Crystal Lee and Stephan Risi. You can also have a look at the underlying Github repository.
The beauty of using Github Pages is that you don’t need to worry about hosting or setting up your own server. You can just create and edit html files and they will be immediately available to everyone. This tutorial is inspired by a similar tutorial created by Miriam Posner, who has also written about the advantages and disadvantages of using Github Pages in more detail.
We will walk you through the process of setting up a Github account, making edits to the page, and using it as a place to host your own work.
Whenever you’re ready you can get started with the first section, setup.
