Launch Your Website With GitHub Pages

Are you looking for an easy way to launch your website? Or are you looking for a way to share your coding projects? In this class you will launch a new website using GitHub Pages. GitHub Pages is a free service and there are no servers, no configs, and no payments (it's totally free!) With this course you can launch your HTML, CSS and JavaScript website on the internet for free and in less than an hour!

To really build your skills you will learn by doing. You will create a public repository on GitHub where you can share your code. And if you set it up right, GitHub will create a website for you and make it accessible to the internet.

Together we'll get started with Git (beginner friendly) and we'll create a new GitHub account and repository. If you don't want to learn how to use Git, that's OK, because I'll show you how to edit files directly on GitHub as well.

Then we'll add files to our GitHub repository and deploy it to the internet.

And just like that... you have a website that friends, family, and future employers can look it.

First we'll create a new GitHub account (if you don't already have one.. it's free!). Then we'll create a special repository that tells GitHub to "make a website for us". We'll setup Git on our computers (Windows, Mac and Linux) — but don't worry if you don't want to use Git you can edit the files directly on GitHub. We'll practice cloning our repo and pushing files to the repository. Lastly, we'll add a nice theme and add our pre-existing projects.

This course is beginner friendly! Even if you have no experience with Git or GitHub, that's OK, because I'll walk you through every step.

By the end of this course you will have yourusername.github.io as a website that you can share with your friends, family and future employers! 

Let's get started right away!
