github-pages-quick-start

make a https://github.com github.com account

choose a username that is memorable since your website will be accessible from <username>.github.io, for example a username of skibidi67 would mean you put skibidi67.github.io in the "Repository name" textbox

• you can get a special domain name like kiyuri.ca by "buying" (leasing) a domain

go to https://github.com/new new

now you have a README.md file - this is the cover page of your website where most people will go first (called "index" in web lingo)

click either (a) the pencil icon or (b) click the README.md file and then the pencil icon on the right

you can write what you want in your index page here, like a quick intro, webring (!), contact info, etc.
