The repo has to be public unless you are a pro member , you might as well mention that.
Thankyou @pandademic
I can create private repositories on my account and I do not have a pro membership though.
Yes but you can't enable github pages on them
Nice post. I recently started to combine Cloudflare pages and GitHub pages which add many extra functionalities, still all automated and easy to deploy.
Example z-shell.pages.dev/docs/code
Glad it helps.
Thank you for the tutorial, I hope to make some quick static pages right now
Glad it helps.
