I learned how to code at university, so I've been at it since 2014. I've dabbled in open source contributions but would like to get into it more. Other than 1's and 0's, I love to travel.
If your site is hosted on GitHub you can just commit your changes to the repo that your site is hosted from. The commit will be built (if you're using Jekyll) and served at your domain.
Why would you host your static website on a paid web hosting if you can host it on GitHub for free? It’s a brave new world out there called JAM-stack which suddenly makes the old database-driven approach obsolete.
Hi Deni,
The site is not hosted on namecheap but on github. Namecheap is a domain registration site. Earlier my site was hosted for free on nabendu82.github.io/ . So, as you can see the cost of free is to add github.io at the end of my site.
But now i just purchased the domain nabendu.me from namecheap for $4.18 per year and just used the process in blog to change the custom domain in github.
Thanks
How do you update your website if for example you want to make some changes like add new projects or change the layout perhaps?

What if the site is hosted on for example namecheap or similar?

Thank you for explaining that to me. I wanted to know if I could have a website that's hosted on github but have the domain like abc.com for example.
Yes Deni. I did exactly the same thing.
