https://web.mst.edu/~yourname (Standard HTML websites:
campus is trying to remove all of these, so good luck getting one
now.)https://yourname.git-pages.mst.edu (this guide)I find that hosting a static HTML site with Gitlab is easier and more
convenient than using rsync with a traditional server, for
example.
I have outlined the steps to get your basic HTML website on https://git.mst.edu.
0a. Watch this:

0b. Read more if you want:
https://git.mst.edu/help/user/project/pages/index.md
log into https://git.mst.edu in the web interface.
In the web interface, create a group, named as you want your website named (e.g., yourname).
In the web interface, create a git project/repo within that group called the same as the group, e.g., ‘yourname.git-pages.mst.edu’
Clone the project to your local machine:
$ git clone https://whateveryourrepourlis
Copy a template .gitlab-ci.yml file into your root
repo directory.
There is a Gitlab-given template, and I have attached the base/root of
my Git repository, including that file: GitMSTwebsite/sites-template.zip
As in the template, create a folder called public/
in your root repo directory.
Copy your website files (at minimum this means
public/index.html directory (string case matters), just
like it were a normal web server public folder.
In the git repository: add, commit, push, double-check.
Your website then automatically will appear at:
https://yourname.git-pages.mst.edu
