How to Setup Github Pages - Website on Github - Complete Beginner Tutorial

Hey, it's MicrowaveSam with a complete beginner tutorial on how to setup Github Pages, website on github!

No download is needed.

My Github webpage that I created in the tutorial:
http://huyle333.github.io/

Github link:
https://github.com/

Description about what Github Pages provides:
https://pages.github.com/

Namecheap to get a domain name:
https://www.namecheap.com/

Git Bash on Windows:
https://git-scm.com/downloads

1) Go to https://github.com/ and create an account if you don't have one already.
2) Sign into your account and create a new repository
3) Name the repository as username.github.io
4) You can initialize the README
5) On Windows 7 or 8, you can search for Powershell, which is a terminal prompt system that has git already installed
6) Here are my commands after opening Powershell
cd Desktop
git clone https://github.com/huyle333/huyle333.github.io.git
cd huyle333.github.io
touch index.html
notepad index.html
git add index.html
git commit -m "added index.html"
git push origin master
7) Go to Namecheap and buy a domain.
8) Click on the domain that you bought and click on All Host Records. I bought www.chimeflow.com
@ 192.30.252.153 A (Address)
@ 192.30.252.154 A (Address)
www huyle333.github.io. CNAME (Alias)
9) Back in your github repo, you want to add a CNAME to redirect to the domain name you have on Namecheap.
Inside huyle333.github.io:
touch CNAME
notepad CNAME

In CNAME, I added:
chimeflow.com

git add -f CNAME
git commit -m "added CNAME"
git push origin master

10) My Github page now re-directs to chimeflow.com Success!
