Once you have created a web app, you need some way to make it accessible to the rest of the world. GitHub Pages offers free hosting for static content; this is useful for hosting a blog or documentation site for a library.

This guide will walk you through deploying Static webpages onto GitHub Pages. We will demonstrate how to enable GitHub Pages on a GitHub repository, set up continuous deployment with Github Actions, and finally test the page. This guide uses SnapShot, a simple React app, throughout as a sample static website to get started. A basic understanding of the Git command line and GitHub is assumed knowledge for this guide. You can watch Getting Started on GitHub if these tools are new to you.
