jekyll-now VS pages-gem

I would recommend using jekyll now: https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now Just fork the repo, change config.yml and you are good to go

github (free): https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now

This is what my deployment looks like: https://badbird3.github.io/

I'm a complete novice and haven't got the time to get stuck into really learning html or Jekyll or whatever I should really be doing. I've forked Jekyll Now (and this page got me started with tables) and I'm perfectly happy with the simple limited stuff I can do so far. That's all I need for now.

I was doing the above at first but then when I was looking at themes for my Jekyll site I found a way easier method. You can just fork this repo on Github: (https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now).

It's super easy to publish a static site like the resume with GitHub Pages. Just check out the docs.

GitHub Pages: Host your static websites directly from your GitHub repository.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Ideal for open source projects, docs sites, and portfolios. GitHub Pages

Github Pages: Link to Github Pages

Once you have all the documentation worked out a place to host it will be necessary. Some documentation generation may have ties in with specific hosting sites. Read The Docs' support for Sphinx and other documentation tools is one example. GitHub pages can be useful for GitHub hosted projects as it integrates well with GitHub Actions CI/CD deployments.

If you use GitHub and need to host a static website, consider GitHub Pages. Free for one site Stored on a GitHub public respository Deploy via web interface, or Git 100GB/month free bandwidth

There are plenty of other hosting options you could use instead, such as GitHub Pages.

Functionally github.io just presents whatever you throw into the repository as the root directory of a site, github themselves host a very good, basic outline of how to set up a site on github.io.
