Video Tutorial: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jPhmR3TiGq8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jPhmR3TiGq8</a> (same as above)<p>Article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;quanticdev.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;website-with-github-pages" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;quanticdev.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;website-with-github-pages</a><p>I have recently published quanticdev.com using only GitHub Pages and markdown and decided to create a guide to preserve this knowledge in the form of a video&#x2F;article so I can reuse it in my future projects. GitHub Pages is a free and a pretty good hosting service. It is an add-on for regular GitHub repositories, and you can host your website as well as code and other things in one repo, which is pretty good. I must warn that GitHub Pages is intended for techies. If you want something much simpler, go with Google Sites, or Blogger.com, or WordPress. In the first part of this video&#x2F;article, I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of GitHub Pages. In the second part, I will deploy a brand-new website using GitHub Pages and simple markdown. Everything will be done through GitHub&#x27;s UI and online code editor. I will also demonstrate a sample React website hosted on GitHub Pages.<p>Outline of this video&#x2F;article:<p><pre><code> • QuanticDev.com Intro • Why GitHub Pages • Advantages • Disadvantages • GitHub Pages Setup &amp; How I Created quanticdev.com • My Recommendations • Conclusion </code></pre> Free website hosting resources:<p><pre><code> • GitHub Pages (for techies): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com o Supports Jekyll: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jekyllrb.com o Supports Static HTML + CSS + JavaScript o Supports React (and anything that compiles to static HTML&#x2F;JS&#x2F;CSS): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create-react-app.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;deployment&#x2F;#github-pages • Google Sites (non-techies): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sites.google.com • Alternatives for Bloggers o Blogger (basic): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogger.com o WordPress (more advanced): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wordpress.com • Alternatives for Programmers o Heroku: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heroku.com o Firebase: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;firebase.google.com</code></pre>
