GitHub Pages, aka. free hosting for all your public demos:

Without your writing any webserver code, GitHub can recognize specifically-named repos/branches and will serve a static page (including HTML/CSS/JS and other static files) at a certain GitHub-based URL. This means free hosting for your public demos, and makes it really easy to host a doc/demo site associated with each of your repositories. You can even set it up with a custom domain.

User Page (or Organization)

Accessible at: yourusername.github.io
GitHub automatically reserves this URL for every user and organization to use as their User page, although nothing is published there until you publish.
To deploy a static site to this URL:
1. Create a Github repo with the exact name: yourusername.github.io

Commit an index.html in the root folder to the master branch and push. (From the index page you can link to other folders/files as usual)

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
