How to Upload Files on Github for Hosting?

GitHub is an internet hosting and development platform that allows developers to work together on a project. You can use Github to host your files and provide direct download links. The only catch here is that GitHub only allows uploading files up to 25MB.

The cost of hosting files is high and also there are bandwidth limitations. Everyone cannot afford such a high cost of file storage and download, but GitHub can rescue you from paying by offering a free direct download hotlink. I have used GitHub for so many years found it to be easy, super-fast, and secure with good download speed.

If you wish to host your files without any bandwidth charges and direct download link, then GitHub is the best choice. Github supports all file types from images, PDF, videos, applications, docs, and more. It also provides a preview for PDF, text, and image files, including animated GIFs.

Steps to Upload Files on GitHub

1. Create a GitHub account. It is super easy, go to GitHub.com, click the Sign-up button, enter the email, password, and username. Confirm the account with a link or code sent to your email address.
   
2. Now login to GitHub with the email/username and password you just created.
   
3. Once successfully logged in, click on Create repository.
   
4. Give your repo a name. You can either choose your repository as Public or Private and then hit Create repository.

   If you set the repo as private, then only can access the file.
   If you have set the repo as public, you can share the download link, and your profile is open.
