# A Testing Repo for GitHub Pages
A basic splash page for testing out the GitHub Pages feature (free hosting).

## Deploy a Static Page to GitHub Pages
[GitHib Pages] allows you to deploy your static HTML, JavaScript, and CSS pages to a GitHub or custom domain. To deploy a repository follow these steps:
1. Create a new standard repository, let's assume it's named `github-pages`:
- Give the repo the name `github-pages-deploy-html`
- Give the repo a brief description `Deploying a static page using GitHub Pages.`
- For the rest, just leave the defaults
- Click `Create repository`
2. Using the terminal clone the repo:
```
git clone https://github.com/codeadamca/github-pages-deploy-html
```
3. Open the new `github-pages-deploy-html` folder using your IDE of choice. I use Visual Studio Code. Add an `index.html` and add some basic HTML content:
```html
GitHub Pages
Hello GitHub Pages!!
```
4. Push the changes to your GitHub repo:
```
git add .
fit commit -m "Added home page"
git push origin main
```
5. Using the browser, navigate back to `githib-pages-deploy-html` repo, click on the `settings` tab, and then `Pages`.
6. Choose `Deploy from branch`, the branch name and folder you want to deploy, then click save:
7. Wait for a minute or two and then the GitHub URL will be functional. The URL will be:
```
http://..ca/
```
## Custom Domain
You can use a custom domain (or subdomain) you have registered from a domain name provider.
Go back to the repo settings and choose `Pages`. Enter the custom domain, choose whether or not to `Enforce HTTPS`, and click `Save`:
Log in to your domain name provider and navigate to your domain name DNS settings. Add four A records pointing the domain to GitHub:
```
185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153
```
In my domain name provider the settings looks like this:
