How to Host a website on Github Pages. We can host a static HTML website for free on Github. You can only host static websites (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, including react, angular, bootstrap). You won't be able to upload a web application with a server (python flask/django, ruby on rails, node.js/express, etc). The steps are as followed:

  1. Create a GitHub account and login
