DNS & GitHub Pages

9 – 12h Teaching

Goals

  • I understand the structure of the Global Domain Name System
  • I know how to publish my website to github.io
  • I have created the GitHub repository necessary for my GitHub pages and checked it out locally

Domain Name System (DNS)

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. This is necessary because, although domain names are easy for people to remember, computers or machines, access websites based on IP addresses.

Let's go!

Set up your personal GitHub Page and check it out on your computer

Don't use Themes! Otherwise you will need to write Markdown instead of HTML...
