To deploy your website, open your repository on GitHub, click the Settings tab, and select Pages from the left sidebar. Under Build and deployment, change the Source to Deploy from a branch. Select your primary branch (usually main or master) from the dropdown menu, keep the folder as / (root), and click Save. Wait two minutes, refresh the page, and click the live link provided at the top.
