It is still possible to host a personal website/portfolio on GitHub Pages that is publicly accessible at username.github.io. This feature has been and continues to be popular among developers and other GitHub users.
I am only ever on github once in a blue moon. However, I don’t like it one bit when my user page is just blank. So, I took the time to actually put something in there and I am leaving a few notes-to-self here – because there might be another 3 years before I’m in there again.
