I have made a website that I published as Github Page. Since Github Pages is not a server provider and can only store a static website, I cannot use a comment section server side.
Is there any other way of implementing comments / discussion feature on github pages? For example feedback form can be handled using Google Forms.
I do not believe this is possible anymore because as you said they only support static pages now. Yes, you can use google forums or something similar. You can also use GH discussions. You can find it on the top bar or go use a link. They are formated like this github.com/<user/orgenisation name>/<repository name>/discussions

I have a repo with README.md as main page. This repo uses mkdocs for generating static site. Also, added Google Analaytics measurement ID to the mkdocs.yml for tracking the traffic on the static site.
But my current requirement is to track the github pages on repo. I am aware of github insights feature where we can get the metrics. But would need more details for every github page.
Can someone help me with this please?
You already use Google Analytics to track your GitHub Pages website, but you want it to track your repo also, right?
In that case, it is not possible, because differently from your website, even if you do own the repo, you do not own it's page, GitHub does. And you probably added some HTML to track your website, but you can't change your repo's HTML. This was already answered here.
Now, if I misunderstood and what you want is to track your GitHub Pages website, then yes, you can.
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.
Around 12 hours ago, I tried creating a personal blog using 'beautiful jekyll'. I followed the simplest 3-step method to get a basic blog running however, every time I enter my website link, I get
There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.
If you're trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn
how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user
account.
There isn't anything that I did different from the tutorial. I want to know does github just takes long to publish the pages or is there some sorcery ?
As I commented:
github.com/nitinrabbit/yourboygorja.github.io would not work, since yourboygorja is not your GitHub username. nitinrabbit is.
So the repo should be called github.com/nitinrabbit/nitinrabbit.github.io
And some content needs to be pushed to it.
You may need to go to the settings>pages>Source>Main (or subfolders) to activate page root. You may find detailed explanations here.

I am using GitHub to host my website. Which is the most suitable Disqus platform to be used to enable commenting system on my Website?
By Platform I mean :
WordPress
Universal Code
Joomla
Blogger
Tumblr
Squarespace etc.
If you're using GitHub Pages, you can't use any of those Web platforms you mentioned, because they all either presume you have your own hosting space or are hosted on their own infrastructure. If you want to use Tumblr, sign up for it. If you want to use Joomla, get a virtual private server.
GitHub Pages constrains you to Jekyll, plus a finite set of plugins. Which may be fine, if that's all you need. If your website doesn't need any sort of custom backend logic (e.g. a database), you can use GitHub Pages just fine. Disqus can be added to your site with just a little bit of JavaScript.
The reasons you'd want to use GitHub pages are worthy of a separate question, but in a nutshell you get a free static website.
I know that Stack Overflow has a short script like Facebook, LinkedIn etc. to share your account details on your website or your blog. Even if I looked at it on google and stack overflow, I could not find anything like that. Do you know such script for GitHub?
There are also GitHub Buttons.
But these are not created by GitHub itself....
The best available option is the Github badge.
Github unfortunately does not provide their own version of an embeddable badge; you can try requesting one through support.
