GitHub Pages
Free hosting that builds websites from markdown in a repository.
GitHub Pages is GitHub's free static hosting service. Point it at a repository and it builds and serves a website — and with the built-in Jekyll integration, plain markdown files in the repo become pages automatically.
It is the standard way to publish project documentation, personal sites, and blogs straight from a Git repository: push a markdown commit and the live site updates.
