Steps for Hosting a Website on GitHub

1. Create a GitHub account on github.com.
2. Download either [GitHub for Mac][1] or [GitHub for Windows][2], depending on your operating system. Open the app and log in using the account you just created.

5. Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository. IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
