If you don't like the URL / domain that GitHub Pages gives you, you'll need to purchase a domain through your favorite registrar company, but then yes, you can point it towards your free GitHub Pages site. Here's the GitHub instructions on how to do that: docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site
The only thing that cant be free is the custom domain name like mysite.com but its only like 12dollars per year! While hosting is normally about from 60 to 350 for small sites!
Before I keep going and watch the rest of the videos, I just wanted to tell you that you're literally making me get a job out of this. Started this journey a week ago learning HTML and CSS with a couple of tuts until I found your channel. Now I'm developing a simple website for my friend's business and it's amazing! I want to thank you for that!
I'm really gratefull for this man existence and the content he produces. I occasionally talk about him to my family, imagine ! Brad doesn't know if I exist, and my family just care about my carrier. From experience, I hate academic teachers. I always meprise the value they think they offer, I was always the one who, sometimes, make new things out of courses that the teacher never considered or found out. But the way this man talks to an apprentice logical mind is, very rare.
Woooow this was detailed, I’ve watched tons of videos but none was as good as yours. You’ve helped me put my website on the web and I’ll subscribe and also look for your course on Udemy.
You're great and video is also pretty super! Where I know GitHub about 1 year since I started learning programming and I also know GitHub desktop app but I haven't used it before and didn't even know it offers free websites pages hosting. Thanks so much for the info. First comment and new subscriber on your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! Yep, GitHub Pages is amazing, and with the popularity of "Static Site Generators" nowadays... it means the only cost of hosting a simple site is just buying a cheap domain with another company and then configuring it with GitHub: docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site
I already purchased three-course of yours on Udemy. And you started this one! Really, I need a time table. Love the way you teach! You are my favorite!
Thanks for the support! The Udemy courses go more in-depth on a single topic, whereas this series is more of just the "birds eye view" of how all the different topics fit together.
Thank you for this! I had an issue where my site wasn't showing up but entering a custom domain name in the pages section fixed it. Maybe I missed something. Great tutorial :)
Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for! For some reason when I try to deploy my site from the master it will only display my readme file as a webpage. Strange. Edit: I changed my html file to index.html and that fixed it!
So, as far as I understand, we need the Git Desktop software if we want to update the site. Can we update it by replacing the file with a new one? We can publish files on GitHub, right? So, the software is optional? I wonder: is there a size limit? Is the project added on the Desktop saved on the computer? I am not sure my laptop will handle that. I hope there is a cloud. Can we change the name file within the desktop tool?
I am absolutely amazed. I've been paying for hosting, is it really this easy??? Only thing is I created my sites using a theme in Wordpress. If only I knew enough HTML to do this...
Thank you for this amazing video. I have just published my portfolio step by step following your video. I'm not a programmer, I'm an eLearning developer and want to create my portfolio. So I have a question about security, Is there anything I should be aware of when publishing my portfolio, it just includes info about me, some samples, and articles later on.
Hi, Thanks for this in fact all of your coding tutorials. I have a question, if you can answer. The questing is, does github pages allow my google ads to put on these free hosted sites?
I am doing your course from udemy . So there is a problem of push when i am finally doing heroku master.It says heroku cannot detect buildpacks what to do ??
There can be a situation wherein one has to format one's PC or the OS just crashed. In such a scenerio, how to restore a local WordPress from a github backup or WordPress backup? can we still log in using the same credentials. I mean how do I add content to the same github site that was connected to the local wordpress before the pc had a crash. To be more specific, I mean how do we go about the database, log in and most importantly, how do I make sure that my previous posts are not lost or the permalinks are not hampered.
For the longest time I keep having this problem when I create an html project and I post it to github I can never host the site properly. I follow all the steps and go to get hub pages select master/main branch and click the github io link and I either get the 404 error or the white page.
I agree, JavaScript is the hardest part by far. In Chapter #2 (Programming) I have both a "Dog Slideshow" project planned where we pull dog data and images from an API and display them as a slideshow, and also a simple "Math Game" project powered by JavaScript.
Hello, Brad I am trying to complete your Full Scratch Javascript course but have run into a major barrier. I have left messages for you on the Udemy comments but you never answer them. What does it take to get you to pay attention to your users???
Nice tutorial! 🥰 but when i click on the link to my website in git hub it says that, 'GitHub Pages are temporarily down for maintenance', then i got a 404 error... I wonder when i can view my web😖...
Hi, Chat and Host. Question: I don't see the GitHub Pages select option. Can someone help me out pls and Thx you. 5/22/2023. Anything after 6/1/2023 please... Don't comment or write and I do thank you for your time in this matter.. Just trying to control or limit the amount of emails will be coming into my inbox.. Thanks again team!!!
Hey Brad ! Hope you are well in these difficult times. I have followed this video of yours, step by step, but when I click the link for my website to view in a browser it shows the following error code. I have been jumping from page to page and make sure I am not missing anything. Could you please help me out. 404 File not found The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file. If this is your site, make sure that the filename case matches the URL.
Hi! I'm doing well and hope you are too. If you check the main overview page for your repository on GitHub, does it contain a file named "index.html" and can you double check that it is spelled exactly that way including lowercase letters? Also, you might try pushing a minor change up to GitHub just to give it another chance to trigger the process of publishing it on GitHub Pages.
Do you mean the link that GitHub gives you on the settings page for your "GitHub Pages" url? Maybe try pushing a small change to your repo to give it another chance to update. Or you can try a hard refresh on your page's url (hold shift key while clicking reload icon). Or I have seen before that with a brand new repo, not always, but it can sometimes take about 10 minutes before your site url starts working.
It might take a few minutes, and you might try pushing a small change / new commit to trigger it to try again. Also, do you have a file named "index.html" for it to find?
As Bir Singh mentioned, you can only host front-end code on GitHub pages. However, there are all sorts of "Static Site Generator" projects that can take your local copy of WordPress, even if you have thousands of pages, and automatically generate HTML files which GitHub Pages could host. That would actually be ideal from a page-load speed and security standpoint, but you'd lose any interactivity (user registration, comments, etc...). I'll cover more about these topics in the "Servers" chapter 🥳
@@LearnWebCode You have 1130 questions unanswered in the wordpress course. I think if you decide to abandon the support to a course can you atleast provide source code and directions so we can see the working code.

Rajendra ku. Mohanty - Brad’s Udemy “Learn JavaScript: full-stack from scratch” course is a very helpful course to take after the 10-days of JavaScript free intro.
It's probably because your repository name is too long, shorten it and see what happens. It worked for me thankfully. Or maybe you don't have "index.html", which is the homepage.
How can I custom the url? Or do I need to buy a domain name still and how can I apply to GitHub pages?
