GitHub Pages

Hosting your website/portfolio on Github pages (gp) can give you a clean URL to send people to. You can even use a custom domain.

Pre-requisites:

  • An account on Github.com
  • Have your Github Username handy
  • Create a new repository and name it <your_github_username>.github.io
  • Upload files/assets for website there

More in depth guide

Github is basically hosting static pages for free, it's quite a nice feature.

Normal repo's hosted on gp will give a URL like the following:

https://<your_username>.github.io/<your_repo_name>
e.g.:
https://izzlenizzle.github.io/ReadoutAssistant/

But with a special eye for cleanliness, you can get a url like this:

https://<your_username>.github.io/
e.g.:
https://izzlenizzle.github.io/
Looking good 👌💅
