+# How to Host an HTML File on GitHub Pages
+
+This guide will walk you through the process of forking a repository containing an HTML file and then hosting it using GitHub Pages.
+
+## Prerequisites:
+- A GitHub account. If you don't have one, [sign up](https://github.com/join) for free.
+
+## Steps:
+
+### 1. Fork the Repository
+- Navigate to the repository you wish to fork on GitHub.
+- Click on the 'Fork' button at the top right corner of the page. This will create a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.
+
+### 2. Set up GitHub Pages
+- Navigate to your forked repository on the GitHub website.
+- Go to the 'Settings' tab, located at the top-right corner of the page.
+- Scroll down to the 'GitHub Pages' section.
+- Under 'Branch', select the branch you want to use for GitHub Pages (change `None` to `main`).
+- Click 'Save'.
+- Wait a few minutes for your page to be deployed.
+
+### 3. Access Your Hosted HTML File
+- Refresh the page and you will find a link to your hosted page at the top.
+- After configuring GitHub Pages, GitHub will provide you with a link to your live site. It usually looks something like: `https://yourusername.github.io/forked-repo-name/`
+
+
+## Conclusion
+That's it! You have successfully forked a repository and hosted an HTML file using GitHub Pages without cloning locally. Enjoy your live site!
