🌐 Lesson 15: Deploying with GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is a free hosting service that lets you deploy static websites directly from a GitHub repository. It's perfect for portfolios, documentation, or simple apps.

📦 Step-by-Step: Deploy a Static Site

1. Push your code to the main branch of your GitHub repository.
2. Go to your repository on GitHub, then navigate to Settings → Pages.
3. Under "Source", select main branch and set the folder to / (root).
4. Click Save. GitHub will generate a deployment link like:
   https://your-username.github.io/your-repo-name

⚠️ Important:

• Your entry point file must be named index.html — GitHub looks for this file to render your site.
• It may take a few minutes for your site to go live after saving the settings.

💡 Pro Tips

• Add a CNAME file to connect a custom domain.
• Use GitHub Actions for auto-deployment of build tools like React, Vue, or Svelte.
• Keep your site lightweight — Pages only supports static content (no backend).

Now you've got your first static site LIVE on the web — no server setup, no money down, just raw HTML glory!
