Getting started with Pages
Who can use this feature?
Pages is available in public repositories with Free and Free for organizations, and in public and private repositories with Pro, Team, Enterprise Cloud, and Enterprise Server. For more information, see ’s plans.
Pages now uses Actions to execute the Jekyll build. When using a branch as the source of your build, Actions must be enabled in your repository if you want to use the built-in Jekyll workflow. Alternatively, if Actions is unavailable or disabled, adding a .nojekyll file to the root of your source branch will bypass the Jekyll build process and deploy the content directly. For more information on enabling Actions, see Managing Actions settings for a repository.
