Welcome to the first step on getting your site published by Github. If you aren't familar with Github, I encourage you to check out Github.

Now thats out of the way, lets get started ! 🎉

• ✦ Go to Github login and create a repository.

• ✦ When you name it, add .github.io

  This will turn your new repo into a website

• ✦ After that your already half way done !!

Step 1

Now that we created a repository for your project, lets go ahead and create a website. If doesn't need to be fancy, it can litterally be one word, but for the purposes of this tutorial you can download the sample site to your right Example site we'll use 👉

• ✦ Create a html and add whatever you want

• ✦ Save your site to a location you can remember.
  This will come in handy next the next couple of steps

Step 2

Afer we have created a repo and created a simple site, its now to get alittle technical . This next step is the "confirmation" that you'r site is added to your repo.

• ✦ Before we start, please go and download Github Desktop.
  This app will push our site from our computer to your repo online !
• ✦ After you Downloaded the app, open it
• ✦ Then click "file" and hit "clone repository"
• ✦ Choose the repo that you made for your site.
• ✦ It will ask where to save the Github folder, just save it on your desktop.
  This step, we're adding a folder to your PC for you to place your site in
• ✦ After that you ready for the next step !

Step 3

So far, Github Desktop created a folder in your Desktop and you have placed your site into that folder ...

• ✦ After you have added your site file to the Github Desktop repo folder, reopen your Github Desktop app.
• ✦ If all goes accordingly , look at your Github Desktop app and you should see the screen changing. This means your site loaded correctly and is ready to be proccessed.
• ✦ If you want to publish your site, at the bottom left corner, fill out the Summary. Only the description is optinal.
• ✦ After that, hit the commit to master button.
• ✦ Soon after you hit the commit to master that app should look like the image to the right.
• ✦ If it does, hit Push Origin and congrats, you have successfully published your site to Github !!!!!!

Step 4

Congrats on publishing your first site with Github !! It takes about a minute or two for Github to publish it. After about 5 minutes, go ahead and type this address in the url bar [your repo name].github.io. If all goes well, it should look like the same site you downloaded but on the url [your repo name].github.io !
