Github to web?

Hi there! I was just curious if theres a way to make it so that when I push any project to github if it can automatically be put on a website too. I made a website to upload personal projects along with ones for Treehouse but I also allow my friends to use it if they wanted to test JavaScript and I was hoping there was a way I can just link repo's to the site. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I use heroku for deployment. It syncs with your github repository and will update as you update your files.

Yes, heroku has that feature as mentioned! I've used it before, it works well.

Does it work with web development languages too like JavaScript, HTML, CSS?

Thank you, based on this link though it seems like they don't have web development support. Have you ever done any HTML, CSS or JavaScript (not node) on Heroku?
