GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service designed to host your personal, organization, or project pages directly from a GitHub repository.

Warning: If subdomain isolation is disabled, we recommend also disabling GitHub Pages on your appliance. There will be no way to isolate user-supplied GitHub Pages content from the rest of your appliance's data. For more information, see "Configuring GitHub Pages on your appliance."

You can create and publish GitHub Pages sites online using the Automatic Page Generator. Or if you prefer to work locally, you can use GitHub Desktop or the command line.

GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service and doesn't support server-side code such as, PHP, Ruby, or Python.
