  1. As long as your repositories are public and open source, it is free. Private repositories have monthly charges. But if you are a student, you can apply for the Student developer program and get free private repositories along with tons of goodies. If you want GitHub for private repositories only, I suggest you look at alternatives like BitBucket and Gitlab.

  2. Github has both free and paid options but for the vast majority of individual developers, the free option is all they need. Github Pages is a free service that allows developers to post their sites and apps for free. GitHub gives free hosting facility through GitHub pages. It’s a very good hosting facility available for free. But just remember that GitHub only provides static web hosting. So no dynamic content, no PHP, no server side language supported here. To use it just create a repository in GitHub and give name username. github. io and commit your static website files. go to settings then GitHub pages and click publish. You can use custom domain if you like, and that also for free.
