Canvas Builder + GitHub Pages & GitHub Actions

GitHub Pages offers free static hosting integrated with Git version control — ideal for Canvas Builder's HTML output. Push your site to a GitHub repository and it deploys automatically. Add GitHub Actions for build steps, linting, and automated deployments.

Use Cases

✓Free static site hosting on GitHub Pages
✓Version-controlled Canvas Builder sites with Git history
✓Automated deployment via GitHub Actions CI/CD
✓Portfolio and project documentation sites
✓Collaborative site development with pull requests

How It Works

1

Create a GitHub repository

Create a new repository on GitHub. Clone it locally. Add your Canvas Builder HTML files (index.html and any linked pages) to the repository.

2

Enable GitHub Pages

In your repository Settings → Pages, set the source to your main branch. GitHub Pages will serve your site at username.github.io/repo-name (or a custom domain).

3

Push your Canvas Builder site

Commit and push your Canvas Builder HTML files. GitHub Pages builds and deploys automatically within 1–2 minutes. Your site is live at your GitHub Pages URL.

4

Add GitHub Actions for CI/CD

Create a .github/workflows/deploy.yml to automate deployments. Add steps for HTML validation, link checking, and minification. You can also set up preview deployments on pull requests for collaborative review.

Benefits

✓Free hosting for static HTML sites with unlimited bandwidth
✓Built-in version control — every change tracked in Git
✓Automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
✓Custom domain support (CNAME)
✓GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment

FAQ

Is GitHub Pages suitable for production websites?
Yes — for static sites (no server-side processing). GitHub Pages handles millions of requests per day, offers free HTTPS, and supports custom domains. It's not suitable for sites requiring a backend, database, or server-side rendering.
Can I use a custom domain with GitHub Pages?
Yes — add a CNAME file to your repository with your domain, then configure DNS with your domain registrar. GitHub provides a free SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt. Setup takes 5–10 minutes.
