Being a developer it helps looking @ others code. It also helps when other devs comment on your code. Social coding has caught up big time and GitHub is at the epicenter of this action. This blog post is not about how to use GitHub or GitPages, but more on how easily you can reach out to the world showcasing your work.

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git revision control system. GitHub offers both paid plans for private repositories, and free accounts for open source projects. It is the largest code host in the world. The site provides social networking functionality such as feeds, followers, wikis (using gollum Wiki software) and the social network graph to display how developers work on their versions of a repository.

GitPages is a service povided by Github where you are allowed to create a website of your own. The site you create is a repository and should be publicly available on GitHub. There are many hosting services that provide some kind of hosting, but none that provide the flexibility and ease of Git Pages.

The following is my GitPages site which showcase my projects:
