GitHub Pages reside inside a git repository on github. They can be built manually and pushed as the final HTML output, or they can be pushed as a jekyll page, which will then be built directly on GitHub.

On August 18, 2016, GitHub made it unnecessary to have a gh-pages branch - now you can select any branch and directory as the source for the documentation.

GitHub differentiates between three types of pages:

• User pages (Portfolio websites)
• Organization pages (Websites specific to an Organisation)
• Project pages (Websites specific to a Project)

Setting up User pages and Organization pages.

• Create a Repository named username.github.io where 'username' your GitHub username or Organisation name.
• Edit or create HTML pages and Push it to this newly created Repo.

Setting up Project pages

• Indicate the source of the documentation.

Lately a website generator was added to GitHub pages which allows you to build a page with just some clicks.
