GitHub only contains files. This service can't run any application or check and compile code.

You can import your github repositories at "Gitpod" and execute at their cloud platform. https://www.gitpod.io/ also their are many other online platform where you can import github code through terminal and execute that.

You can't run codes on GitHub. The only thing that you can do is hosting a static website. Other than that, everything else is just files, you'll have to clone it in your local computer and run it.

Olivia if you already bought a domain name, all you have to do is change some DNS records. You can find a tutorial in the official documentation of GitHub pages.

Olivia by default you get a custom domain name, something like: username.github.io/repository_name However, it is obviously long and not professional. If you want to link an external domain, you'll have to modify some settings, but these changes are very easy to make.

Hi everyone. I've already tried several methods. GitHub desktop is the best and easiest for anyone. Also try new GitHub app for mobile.

GitHub is a platform to store your code and make it available to the open source community. It uses git technology for version control. To run these codes you can copy or clone the code and run it locally or using online compilers.

You generally clone the repository on your local machine and run it there.
