Spacefast vs GitHub Pages
Choose GitHub Pages for a static site published from a GitHub repository. Choose Spacefast when publishing should work directly from an agent or folder, with an explicit sharing step.
Which publishing workflow fits?
| What matters | GitHub Pages | Spacefast |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | HTML, CSS and JavaScript from a repository on GitHub, optionally through a build process. | Files from an agent, drop.fast, the CLI or API; a Git repository is optional. |
| Site type | GitHub describes Pages as static site hosting. | Static sites, plus supported application paths for server code and a built-in database. |
| Domains | GitHub documents default Pages addresses and custom domains. | Use a Space address or connect a custom domain with managed HTTPS. |
| Sharing | Check GitHub’s plan and repository visibility requirements for the site you intend to publish. | New Spaces are private. A recipient needs an invitation, a share link or public access. |
Choose GitHub Pages when…
Your content already lives in GitHub, is static, and a repository-based publishing workflow is what you want. It is a natural option for project documentation and personal sites.
Choose Spacefast when…
You want to publish from a local folder or chat without first creating a repository, or want a Space’s access settings, versions and supported runtime features. A static Pages site can usually move as built files; a server app needs a compatible runtime.
