Github Pages and Hugo

1. Hosting on Github Pages

You can create your website for free just using a Github repo. GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service provided by Github which turn your repository containing your website statc contents like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files into a live website.

Github Pages supports two types of sites

• A site for a user or an organization account

The site is going to be available at http(s)://<owner>.github.io. Here <owner> is the account name of the account holder and <owner>.github.io is the repository name where all the site contents are stored. For eaxmple this is my personal website link where you are reading this blog. Since I have my personal domain linked on Github Pages, you will actually see it on https//ranjanphukan.com
