Laravel has a great tool called Valet. Makes running multiple instances of WordPress locally a breeze. You just point it to a folder and it creates a local [directory_name].test. Works great for static html too

Confused why the poster wanted to use GitHub pages. Sounds like a hassle considering hosting with Wordpress.com you point your domain too. ️

I've never heard of Laravel before - checking it out now.

I wanted to use Github Pages because I had my previous site on Github Pages. GH Pages was easy to setup and provided good hosting/serving for free. I wanted the same for my new Wordpress site and naively thought I could make it work.

I'd like to add that Valet is a great tool and I use it daily.

It is a Mac app though.

There's a Linux port too
