I have my code with the following structure, where I only have a style.css, favicon.png, logo.png, and an external Javascript file in their respective folders.
index.html
assets
CSS
img
I'm looking to convert it to a template on GitHub, where a user can use it and change only the <title> of the head, the main <h1> and <h2> of the body, the logo.png (next to the <h1>) and the favicon.
I have no idea how to do it, as an example, I put this Github project, where using the template just edit .upptimerc.yml to configure your site, and Github Actions makes the deploy in Github Pages every time you modify it. While the source code is in another repository.
If someone could give me something to guide me or give me an example even with a "Hello world" HTML I would appreciate it. I couldn't find anything on the internet beyond the basics.

I want to add a custom HTML page to my Hugo website here, with its github repo here.
I do not want the Hugo theme to be used in this custom html page, all the needed css/javascript and some html is already in the custom_page.html.
I already found a useful questions/answer, here, but it does not work for me. I do not know why... maybe I don't understand the link I have to use to point to this custom page.
Here is what I have tried :
I have a custom_page.html in the content folder (also tried in the static folder) and I add in a post blog/_index.Rmd the link to what I think could work with the following :
[link](\content\custom_page.html) (when the file is in the static folder I used : [link](\static\custom_page.html) )
I always end up with a 404 page not found
Any advice on how to proceed ?
i need a little help...
Actually i have made a GitHub page but i want to change the file which is being displayed to the website made by me ...
Actually it's a .md file and i made a html file...
Now i want to change the file which is being displayed in the site.
I want to switch from .md to html file which is already in my repo for GitHub pages.
If anyone knows how to deal with it, please help
I'm also adding my github repo link : https://github.com/S2Sofficial/swaroop2sky
And here is the github page link:
https://s2sofficial.github.io/swaroop2sky/
Create index.html file, and it will work as your home page.
OR
simply, change the file name of Welcome to Swaroop2sky _ swaroop2sky.html to index.html.
You can not show your website on GitHub page.
You can include html tags in README to format text.
GitHub does not support html format for README. See answer on StackOverflow about README formats.
GitHub does not support iframe either. See answer on SO about iframe.
What do you want exactly?
I have a website in Hugo. However I have a peculiar situation.
Scientists and Electrical Engineers and others may have specific needs. For Eg: Having a single page that shows a simulation. Or in my case using webbluetooth and webusb that I have written from scratch in HTML, CSS and JS. Moreover these pages may be generated by custom scripts. So you can have git submodules inside your hugo site that specifically cater to generating these custom, single page html that you just want to add to your website.
So all I want is to have a menu item or sidebar whatever the existing theme supports, but instead of showing the default html, it should show my custom, hard-coded, already ready and prepared html file - which may as well be an index.html file in a folder with all the necessary contents ready and cooked - something like the _site folder that jekyll creates.
What do you mean by custom html?
I mean it doesn't take the formatting of the hugo theme. It has its own formatting, but because its just a single page in the whole website its not fruitful to have its own layout written in Hugo or maybe its just worth the effort to do that cause you already have it working using some other technology.
What have you done so far and what works?
I am actually coming from a Jekyll background where it's as simple as changing the layout frontmatter and making it nil or even something that doesn't exist at all and jekyll does a great job of showing custom HTML in an existing theme. Tried the same with Hugo but that didn't work.
What are you testing on?
hugo-coder and(or) hugo-academic
Any specific requests?
Ideally I would like to have submodules in my hugo site folder where those submodules generate custom html in known folders and then somehow make a corresponding markdown file in Hugo that is responsible for showing the custom html.
I want to avoid writing the whole html in the markdown itself. But if no other solution is possible then I guess I don't have a choice.
Do let me know if its possible and worthwhile to pursue this and any references that might help.
So I don't know if this is the perfect solution but it somehow works for the moment. I will not accept it as its not perfect and I am waiting for some of the more experienced folks to answer.
I got something working by doing the following -
I had a page built using Jekyll. Jekyll builds the site in a folder called _site.
I copied the _site folder into static folder of Hugo and renamed it correspondingly to CustomHTML OR you could use the flag -d <destination folder> or declare it in the _config.yml file : destination: <destination folder>
Since I am testing it on hugo-acdemic theme, for that I added the following to the config.toml file to show it in the menu -
[[menu.main]]
name = "CustomHTML"
url = "CustomHTML/index.html"
weight = 50
hugo serve And it worked.
Cool thing is that I didn't have to bother about CSS and anything else. Hugo rendered the index.html in _site properly.
EDIT
Looks like the Hugo folks also suggest doing the same way.
Currently, I am trying to use Codepen Project's environment to build a website and later deploy it. I am using a template that I want to start building from. It has its own HTML pages as well as CSS and JS that is linked. However, when I am working in the project environment I cannot seem to get the CSS to apply to the html code (in other words, the live preview keeps showing naked HTML). I have tried uploading the files into the project's root, tried copying them in newly created css files, and tried using them as external sources (href to an external url in the head tag).
It is really to bad because I feel the Project environment can really offer a lot, though I just can't get it to work.
Thanks in advance, and take care!

I know i can convert an MD file to HTML with a bunch of scripts.
I become part of a site which is hosted on github, and it has a place_holder.md file. I can view its content if i isit to place_holder domain. If i change anything in the md file, and i push it to the repo it get updated immediately. If i visit the place_holder.html i can see its content, even that the file is not in the github repo
So my question is:
Does github hoster stuff has an auto md converter which i cannot see? In this case where can i get something like this?
Do webbrowsers understand markdown by default? Then why dont i see place_holder.md in the url?
Thanks
If i visit the place_holder.html i can see its content, even that the file is not in the github repo
Of course you can look at the place_holder.html file it is an html file on your computer that your browser can render so you can view it.
Does github hoster stuff has an auto md converter which i cannot see?
I do not believe github has an "auto md converter".
In this case where can i get something like this?
You can use jekyll to convert your plain text and markdown to static html pages which you can host on the web. You also can get text editors to preview your markdown before you convert it into html which can be helpful. Here is one online text editor.
I'm not sure how you're asking to implement this, but take a look at marked. It's super easy to use and very flexible.
