The website states: "Websites for you and your projects. Hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live."

https://pages.github.com

They are a great way to create a simple static page or a landing page for an app you've put up on GH.

GitHub Pages are public webpages hosted and published on github servers

first you need to have a github account, where you need to create repository for your project,

take clone of it on your computer, write your code and push it to git repository,

and hit the url, for e.g. http://username.github.io

.

You can find more details on https://pages.github.com/

There's this course here on TreeHouse: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/github-basics

I'm planning on taking in the next week or so, to hopefully understand what GitHub is.
