Use this interactive demo to learn how to publish a live website with GitHub Pages.

Quick summary

GitHub Pages lets you publish a static website directly from any repository branch for free. By configuring the Pages settings in your repo, GitHub automatically generates a live public URL for your site within minutes.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your repository on GitHub.
  2. Click on the Settings tab inside your repository.
  3. Scroll down to the Pages section in the Settings menu.
  4. Under Source, select the branch you want to publish by clicking the dropdown arrow.
  5. Optionally, select a folder such as root or docs as your publishing source.
  6. Click the Save button to apply your GitHub Pages configuration.
  7. After enabling, copy the URL GitHub provides and click Visit site to view your live site.

📌 Why this matters

GitHub Pages is a free, built-in hosting solution that lets developers and teams publish static websites directly from a GitHub repository — no external hosting or server configuration required. By simply selecting a branch and saving your settings, GitHub automatically builds and serves your site at a public URL, making it ideal for documentation, portfolios, and project landing pages. This feature eliminates deployment complexity, reduces infrastructure costs, and integrates seamlessly into existing GitHub workflows, making it one of the fastest ways to get a website live from source code.
