Project: your website, live on the internet

You've learned how to save your work with commits, experiment on branches, put your code on GitHub, work with pull requests and publish a website. That's the whole workflow real developers use every day.

In this project you'll make sure all of it is in place for your own website, so it's properly published, properly backed up and has a history you can be proud of.

A live website, published from a public GitHub repository, with a clean history of commits behind it.

1. Your my-website folder is a Git repository with at least five commits, each with a clear message
2. The repository is public on GitHub and everything is pushed
3. At least one change was merged through a pull request
4. GitHub Pages is turned on and your site is live
5. The live site looks the same as it does with Go Live, including your CSS and images
6. The live site works on a phone

Run through this checklist:

• Run git status and make sure there's nothing left to commit
• Run git log --oneline and read your messages. Would someone else understand what each commit did?
• Open your live site in a private browser window, so you're not seeing an old cached version
• Open the live site on your phone
• Check the Actions tab on GitHub and make sure the latest deploy has a green checkmark

This is a great time to share what you've built. Put the link in your GitHub profile, send it to a friend or post it somewhere. You started this pathway without having written a line of code, and now you have a real website on the internet. That's worth celebrating.

And remember, it's not finished. Every time you learn something new, you can come back, improve your site and push the changes. In the next course you'll add JavaScript and make it interactive.
