I have created a website for a friend which I have published on GitHub and deployed using Netlify.
However as my knowledge is improving I have created a branch off of the main repository and completely redesigned the site.
How can I now show this to my friend remotely?
As I understand if I commit this to main this will change the published website which I do not want to do yet as the changes haven't been agreed?
Is there a way to create a GitHub page from that branch so I can send him a link to view what I have created?
Ideally, you create a second empty GitHub repository in which you push tour second branch.
You can then build the GitHub pages for that second repository (using GitHub Action workflow and a starter workflow), and show the alternative version, using the second GitHub Pages URL.
Did Github hosting a website as static website?
Is that mean I do not able to make any changes to the website?
You must understand the difference between GitHub and GitHub Pages.
While using GitHub, you can store whatever you want (As long as it's legal). They are just files. You can delete, change and upload different files at any time.
While using GitHub Pages, the code stored on your GitHub repository will be available online. You cannot create a backend to your website in GitHub pages, they are "static". GitHub will just send the files you store in your repository to the people that visit the url, and the browser will display it as a website. You can change the files in your repository, and the website will be changed accordingly.
I recall I can create a custom tab on github repo page as shown in documentation below
It is set through custom tabs as shown below
But when I get to the github page, I cannot find the Custom Tabs. Did I miss anything, or is the Custom Tabs not available for personal Github repo, and just available on Organization Repo?
It's currently only available on GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub AE.
i'm building a portfolio website at the moment and i have some simple html, JavaScript and angular projects that i have already built and pushed to github as repositories.
I want to host this repositories on github so that i can provide a link on my portfolio website for visitors to click on and see my simple projects and not the source code on github.
You want GitHub Pages! This allows you to create a static site that can contain any content you'd like, and it's free.
I have:
created a simple portfolio with a third party website content creator;
I put the html code into a brand new GitHub Pages repository, so I've create a simple copy that's seems work fine.
Now I'd like to know how do I do to syncing and update the files and folder of the Github Pages repository every time I make a change onto the live website.
Is there a command line tools?
The normal update workflow for a GitHub page site is:
you modify your pages in your local cloned repository, with your third party website content creator
add, commit and push
wait a few second and refresh the page: your changes should be there.
