# Publishing to GitHub Pages

The repository you created on the previous page is where the files for your comic are kept. In order to actually display those files as a proper website, you'll need to publish to GitHub Pages. This page walks you through those steps.

{% hint style="info" %}
Even if you've only just created your repository from the previous page, the repo comes with some default text and images as a demonstration. Feel free to publish after creating to see how it works!

1.  In your repository, go to the **Settings** tab.&#x20;
