Question

May I know, how I will run this code for checking it's working are not?

Answer 1

GitHub only contains files. This service can't run any application or check and compile code.

Answer 2

You can import your github repositories at "Gitpod" and execute at their cloud platform.

https://www.gitpod.io/
also their are many other online platform where you can import github code through terminal and execute that.

Answer 3

You can't run codes on GitHub. The only thing that you can do is hosting a static website. Other than that, everything else is just files, you'll have to clone it in your local computer and run it.

Answer 4

Olivia if you already bought a domain name, all you have to do is change some DNS records. You can find a tutorial in the official documentation of GitHub pages.

Answer 5

Olivia by default you get a custom domain name, something like: username.github.io/repository_name

However, it is obviously long and not professional. If you want to link an external domain, you'll have to modify some settings, but these changes are very easy to make.
