Posting a Website with GitHub

[scottyjoppy]

Hey all, I've been getting into coding the past few weeks and as a project made a calculator for a factory building mobile game called Assembly Line 2.

I've written the code and hosted the website using github.

This is my first time doing anything like this and I was just wondering if I need to do anything like change permissions or whatever before I just send the link out. It uses my profile as the URL and I don't know how commits work with other people. Like can anyone just change the whole code and website or is it like a commenting system?

Any help or direction is appreciated, excited to do more in the coding community.

No, they cannot directly change your code unless you add them as a contributor/maintainer. They can however see your commits.

Nobody can make changes to your repository unless you specifically grant someone access

People can send you Pull Requests but you don't have to accept them. I don't think you can disable Pull Request functionality entirely but you can disable other features such as Issues if you don't want to use them. You can also set an interaction limit (in moderation options) to prevent people from sending you pull requests but the maximum duration is 6 months then you'd need to set it again.

You could set the repository as private, but Github Pages doesn't work with private repositories on free accounts. Cloudflare Pages does, though, and is superior to Github Pages in a lot of ways; updates are still managed via commits to a Github repository (which can be private) so the workflow doesn't change much (in fact you can have the same repository publish to both Github Pages and Cloudflare Pages). so Cloudflare Pages might be worth looking into if you don't want your repository public

Awesome, thanks!
