make your personal page using github, 31 Jan 2016

I created my personal website on Github. Yeah, I mean this one right here. It’s really easy to do. You just create a repository named username.github.io and put your index.html file in the repo. Now, you will have a free sub-domain name in Github at http://username.github.io.

Github can host either plain html or Jekyll. Jekyll is really good for creating a blog since it can render markdown files into a blog.

If you consider hosting a blog or personal website, Github is not a bad choice at all! I really recommend it for students who want to have their own website. And don’t forget to request Github education if you are students.

You can see more information how to create your page at Github Pages.
