fuush vs GitHub Pages
GitHub Pages is free and rock-solid if your site already lives in a public git repo. fuush is for everyone else — no repo required, private source is fine, and you’re not tied to GitHub’s build conventions.
The one-sentence difference
GitHub Pages publishes from a git repository; fuush publishes from a zip (or the CLI, or — if you want — a GitHub repo). No commit, no gh-pages branch, and no need to make your source public to host the output for free.
Side by side
| GitHub Pages | fuush | |
|---|---|---|
| How you deploy | Push to a repo/branch; optional Jekyll or Actions build | Upload a zip, use the CLI, or sync a repo |
| Requires git | Yes | No (git is optional, not required) |
| Private source | Tied to repo visibility/plan | Your source stays wherever you like; only the output is served |
| Custom domain + HTTPS | Yes (HTTPS can lag on first setup) | Yes, issued automatically on first hit |
| Server-side code | No | No — same, static only |
| Forms | No (need a third party) | Yes, built in |
| Rollback | Revert a commit & rebuild | One click to any past release |
| Intended for | Project/docs sites in the GitHub ecosystem | Any static site, repo or not |
Where fuush wins
- No git ceremony. No repo to create, no branch to configure, no Action to debug. A zip is enough.
- Private by default. Hosting the built output doesn’t require publishing your source.
- Batteries you’d otherwise bolt on: forms, custom 404s, redirects, one-click rollback, a deploy CLI.
- Still like git? GitHub sync gives you push-to-deploy from a repo — without making it public.
When GitHub Pages is the better choice
If your project already lives on GitHub, you want hosting that’s part of the repo, and a git-driven workflow is exactly what you’re after — especially for an open-source project’s docs — GitHub Pages is a great, free, durable choice. fuush is the better pick when you’d rather not turn publishing a webpage into a git exercise.
