Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up GitHub Pages for a simple website:
1. Create a GitHub Repository:
- Go to GitHub and log in.
- Click the "+" sign in the upper right corner and select "New repository."
- Name your repository (e.g.,
my-website). - Optionally, add a description.
- Choose the visibility (public or private).
- Initialize this repository with a README if you want.
2. Create Website Files:
- Create an
index.htmlfile in the root of your repository. - Add some basic HTML content to
index.html. For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, GitHub Pages!</h1>
</body>
</html>
3. Commit and Push:
- Open a terminal or command prompt.
-
Navigate to your project directory.
cd path/to/your/repository -
Add and commit your changes.
git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" -
Push your changes to GitHub.
git push origin main
4. Enable GitHub Pages:
- Go to your GitHub repository on the web.
- Click on the "Settings" tab.
- Scroll down to the "GitHub Pages" section.
- In the "Source" dropdown, select `main` (or `master` depending on your default branch).
- Click "Save."
5. Access Your Website:
After a few moments, GitHub will build and deploy your website. You can access it at:
https://yourusername.github.io/repositoryname
Replace yourusername with your GitHub username and repositoryname with the name of your repository.
6. Custom Domain (Optional):
If you have a custom domain:
- In the "GitHub Pages" section, add your custom domain.
- Configure your domain registrar to point to GitHub's IP addresses. GitHub provides instructions for this.
7. Update Your Website:
Whenever you make changes to your website:
- Commit and push the changes to your repository.
- GitHub Pages will automatically update your site.
That's it! You've successfully set up a basic website using GitHub Pages.
