Hi there.

Is there a website for this repo?

Because if you don't have, well, this repo can simply be turned into a website right away. Others will discover this project in that website.

Steps:

  1. Go to Settings and look for GitHub Pages, scroll down. That's almost at the bottom.

  2. You will see there: Branch:none, so you should change that to master because you have a README.md file in the master repo. This will be your page. Click Save first.

  3. Then click Choose a theme, you select a predefined theme of your site.

  4. Visit your site now! The URL will be https://phpro.github.io/grumphp.

If you were amazed by that, simply read the documentation about GitHub Pages.

Thanks for the info! It's quite nice, but the themes are aweful.
I generated the site, but I don't really see the added value since the documentation is completely accessible from the repo itself.

Yup, the sense is that, aside from this repo, you have another domain that can be discovered by others, that is github.io domain or your own domain if you have one. It adds visibility on the web.

Take note, github.com and github.io, they are two separate domains. And the good thing about GitHub Pages is that changes made in README.md file is reflected in the generated web page, so you don't need to worry about the page being outdated.

Plus, Jekyll is the static site generator behind GitHub Pages that you can download and create your own theme.

And you have the option to create your own design using pure HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Just make sure you replace README.md with index.html
