Any reason not to use Github pages? #39

Closed SouDescolado closed 5 years ago

SouDescolado commented 5 years ago

I did a fork and, with some tinkering, I managed to host with github pages https://soudescolado.github.io/roguelike/

Is there any specific reason not to use it?

Pawtang commented 5 years ago

Not really - I have just been using Netlify for a little while and haven't tried github pages yet. Is there any advantage to hosting w/ github?

SouDescolado commented 5 years ago

The main advantage is that you push updates and it is live. You dont have the hassle to get all the files and upload somewhere else

Pawtang commented 5 years ago

You get the same thing with Netlify, it connects to your repositories: https://www.netlify.com/github-pages-vs-netlify/

Pretty cool option

Oh, so it is an integration thing. Usually, unless there is a need for SQL or something, I see games being hosted on github pages instead of another service, but it looks like it have no differences (while netlify promises more than github). Thanks!
