GitHub Pages (aka gh-pages) is a great feature introduced by GitHub to host your personal, organization, or project pages directly from a GitHub repository. Follow step by step guide below to enable your website on GitHub Pages.
Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages

To let GitHub know which website should be servered, just add your full website name without protocol to CNAME file, which should be located in core of your project.
Step 2.2: Add custom domain to GitHub Pages
Go back to repository settings and provide your website full name as in CNAME file.

Follow your DNS provider's instructions to create A records that point your custom domain to the following GitHub IP addresses:
185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153
