Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages
📖 Theory: What is GitHub Pages?
GitHub Pages lets you turn your repository into a website. This is a great way to share your project, resume, portfolio, documentation, or even a blog with the world.
When you enable GitHub Pages on a repository, GitHub takes the content that's on the main branch and publishes a website based on its contents.
