GitLab Pages
With GitLab Pages you can host your website at no cost.
Your files live in a GitLab project's repository, from which you can deploy static websites. GitLab Pages supports all static site generators (SSGs).
Getting Started
Follow the steps below to get your website live. They shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to complete:
-
- Change a file to trigger a GitLab CI/CD pipeline
-
- Visit your project's Settings > Pages to see your website link, and click on it. Bam! Your website is live.
Further steps (optional):
-
- Remove the fork relationship (You don't need the relationship unless you intent to contribute back to the example project you forked from).
-
- Make it a user/group website
