GitHub will host (for free) a website for each of your repositories, a feature called GitHub Pages. To take advantage of this you just need website files on a branch named gh-pages in a repository. You can then find your site at: yourusername.github.io/repositoryname.
This repository contains only a gh-pages branch and the basic website files: index.html and style.css.
When you fork this site you'll have a copy on your account. You can click the file names and edit them directly from github.com. And 💥 a site of your own at: yourusername.github.io/gh-pages-template.

CNAMEfile with just tne name of a domain you own and then set up your DNS to point to this repository's site. - Jekyll Blog: GitHub only serves static files on these sites so you can't put a server (PHP/Rails/Node) application here. You can however, use the static site generator, Jekyll, which is supported by GitHub pages, to generate a blog or site. There are Jekyll sites you can fork to start with, too, like Poole.
- Editing: You can add new files and edit files directly on github.com. You can also copy your repository to your computer and edit there, then send it back to GitHub through the (free) GitHub desktop applications: Windows or Mac.
