The procedure for setting up a web-site at > github is essentially the following:- > 1. Set up github a/c with username as `user'. > 2. The url for the repository will be `user.github.io'. > 3. git clone https://github.com/user/user.github.io > 4. cd /path/user.github.io > 5. Write some html, css, etc. files. > 6. git add, commit and push. > 7. Visit https://user.github.io to see result. My question was not "How do you use this" but rather the more basic question: "What job does it do?" However, you've given me the answer: it permits setting up a web site and editing it with git. That, in principle, is fine. The moral issues result from the specifics. One issue is about nonfree software. Can a user running IceCat, with LibreJS enabled, use all aspects of the resulting web site? Would you like to try that and see? Last we checked, github.com did NOT entirely function without nonfree Javascript code, so we urge people to avoid GitHub entirely. For that reason, it is undesirable for GNU code to be stored in GitHub. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
