How to prototype content on GitHub pages
1. Set up a GitHub account and create a repo. Instructions here: https://github.com/.
2. Go to GitHub pages: https://pages.github.com/
3. Create the content in your CMS and preview it (on GOV.UK, we use a special preview
environment for this).
4. Right click on the page you’ve previewed (or published). Then save the page as an HTML
page on your desktop (‘Save As’ and ‘Webpage, HTML only’)
5. Open the HTML file you created in a browser. Right click, then ‘View page source’.
6. Copy and paste the code into the file you created on GitHub. Then commit the change. Your
page should now be published at http://username.github.io/repository/filename.html
7. If you know a bit of HTML, you can make changes to your page on GitHub. Just edit the file,
then commit the changes.
