Github Site DNS Pointing

Here are the complete steps to create a website using GitHub and point the DNS:

1. Set up your GitHub repository:

   - Sign in to your GitHub account or create a new one.

   - Click on the "+" button in the top-right corner and choose "New repository."

   - Give your repository a name (e.g., "username.github.io") and make it public.

   - Optionally, add a description and choose other settings as needed.

   - Click on the "Create repository" button.

2. Create your website files:

   - Set up your local development environment with a code editor and Git.

   - Create a new directory on your computer for your website project.

   - Add an index.html file to serve as the main page of your website.

   - Add any additional HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or other assets as needed.

3. Initialize Git and push your code to the repository:

   - Open a terminal or command prompt in your project directory.

   - Run the following commands:

     ```

     git init

     git add .

     git commit -m "Initial commit"

     git remote add origin https://github.com/username/username.github.io.git

     git push -u origin master

     ```

4. Enable GitHub Pages:

   - Go to your repository on GitHub.

   - Click on the "Settings" tab.

   - Scroll down to the "GitHub Pages" section.

   - Choose the "master" branch (or another branch) as the source.

   - Click on the "Save" button.

   - After a few moments, you'll see a green box with a link to your website.

5. Customize your website:

   - Open your code editor and make changes to your website files.

   - Commit and push the changes to the GitHub repository.

   - Your website will be automatically updated with the new content.

6. Set up DNS for your custom domain:

   - If you have a custom domain, log in to your domain registrar's website.

   - Locate the DNS management or domain management section.

   - Create a new DNS record (usually a CNAME record).

   - Set the "Name" or "Host" field to your desired subdomain (e.g., "www").

   - Set the "Value" or "Points to" field to "username.github.io" (without https://).

   - Save the DNS changes and wait for them to propagate (usually up to 24-48 hours).

7. Test your website:

   - Open a web browser and enter your domain or GitHub Pages URL.

   - If the DNS changes have propagated, you should see your website live.

Remember that it may take some time for DNS changes to propagate, so be patient if your website is not accessible immediately. Additionally, GitHub Pages supports Jekyll, a static site generator, which you can explore to further enhance your website's functionality.

Note: If you encounter any issues or need more detailed instructions, it's recommended to refer to GitHub's documentation or seek assistance from the GitHub community.
