GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service designed for developers and teams to publish project documentation, blogs, or portfolios directly from a GitHub repository. It takes files from a designated branch, runs them through a build process if configured, and serves them as a website.

• Direct Repository Integration: Your website's source code lives in a GitHub repository. Changes pushed to the source branch automatically trigger a build and update the live site, simplifying deployment.
• Free Static Hosting: The service hosts websites built with static files like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images. It supports Jekyll, a static site generator, to transform plain text into a full site.
• Custom Domain Support: You can configure your GitHub Pages site to use a custom domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) instead of the default github.io address.
• HTTPS by Default: All GitHub Pages sites are served over HTTPS, providing secure connections for visitors without requiring manual certificate setup.
• Project or User Sites: You can create a site for a specific project from its repository or a personal or organizational site from a dedicated repository.
