I tried to unpack the release targz file into my thetechrobo.github.io repo and when I tried to type the link to index.php, Waterfox asked me if I want to download the file! NO! I clicked cancel and just a blank screen. please help :)

TheTechRobo commented 4 years ago

Nevermind you just don't add index.php at the end :)

Sorry for the dumb question

TheTechRobo commented 4 years ago

Oh actually, that loads readme.md

How do I do this?

Lomanic commented 4 years ago

Pico is not a static site generator (needs a php runtime to render webpages on each access), gh-pages is only able (and only permits) to host static files, not dynamic webpages generated with php for example.

TheTechRobo commented 4 years ago

Index.php is included though!

Just as @Lomanic said, GitHub Pages doesn't support PHP. You'll have to install Pico locally and fetch the output of the resulting website using e.g. wget -r (i.e. using Pico as a static website generator). The resulting static .html files can then be uploaded to GitHub Pages.

So every time I type another .md file I'll need to do it again?

Yes. Every change you make, you'll need to generate the .html files again.

PhrozenByte commented 4 years ago

It is possible to automatize the necessary steps with a simple script and, optionally, tools like Travis CI, however, please keep in mind that GitHub Pages is no classic "webhoster". Pico has extremely low system requirements, you just need PHP - it especially requires no database. You'll find suitable webhosters online starting from below $ 1 per month or even free-of-charge webhosters on which a small Pico website will run just fine.
