Deploy your Website to GitHub Pages
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to publish your website to GitHub Pages.
If you have a GitHub Free account, you can only publish to GitHub Pages if your repo is public. To use GitHub pages with a private repo, you’ll need to be on the GitHub Pro plan or above. For more information, see “GitHub’s plans.”
GitHub Pages setup
As a first step, go to Settings > Pages:
Then, configure your site to be built from the master branch:
Once you save, you’ll get this warning:
This is expected. If you wait a minute and refresh the page, you’ll see that your site is live.
As you can see, the site is published to a URL that looks like this:
https://your-username.github.io/your-repo/
This means that you can already share the URL in public. 🚀
If you want to make more changes to your site, simply commit and push them to GitHub, and the site will be redeployed automatically.

Then, you can follow the instructions on this page to set everything up:
However, this is not necessary and not a requirement when publishing your app to the stores.
