Hosting a Website on GitHub Pages

I haven't used GitHub at all so I wasn't aware that it could host web pages. This article in MakeUseOf explains what GitHub Pages are and how to use them.

Web hosting plans come in a variety of options and price points. There are more expensive plans that have the capacity for hosting the biggest websites in the world, but what if you just need a simple hosting solution for a simple website?

For a static website or small web apps, there are free hosting plans that can get you up and running online in a moment. They require a bit more setup than a paid host, but it’s a worthy trade-off for free.

GitHub Pages is one such option, and in this article we’ll show you how to host a simple website using GitHub Pages for free.

This post is mainly for my own reference as I need to start looking at what I'm going to do with my soltys.ca website. I don't think GitHub Pages would be a replacement for that, but it might be useful for small projects.
