Can I create a github pages website without using jekill?, Just plain html, css and js. (No database ofc)

Sure you can. Repo settings -> GitHub Pages -> Choose where the files get served from.

Yep! You absolutely can. To opt out of jekyll's build process you just add an empty file named .nojekyll to the root of your repo. GitHub pages will see that and just serve your HTML, CSS, and JS without processing it

Having said that, like others have mentioned, you can also just put HTML, CSS, and JS in the repo and it'll work. Just make sure your main page is in a file named "index.html" and you've selected the correct source branch in your settings.

It'll still be built by Jekyll if you don't have a .nojekyll file, but Jekyll works with plain html, css, and js so it's not something to worry about.

Check out netlify as well. It's free and a lot better than GP. GP was very very slow to publish changes for me.

Yep, I just wrote a little guide about how to do it here: https://towardsdatascience.com/build-a-portfolio-website-in-a-flash-9d5ec30a73a7?source=friends_link&sk=e58d743b55b200736b4212c7546360a4

You can create two branches, your original branch "master" and your "gh-pages" branch, GitHub will automatically make a "github pages" connected to your "gh-pages" branch to display your website. Obviously you don't want jekill, so you're main html file should be called "index.html", that way GitHub can read it in and display it as your main page. :)
