Github pages uses Jekyll, which is a static site generator. Basically you give markdown, and it renders that to markup, and provides variables and ways to insert headers and footers. It's pretty nifty, I think it's really taken off ever since Github adopted it. The documentation is pretty good ( http://jekyllrb.com/docs/home/ ), and there's really no lack of tutorials and templates out there as well. It's what I used to make the new AsterixDB website, and what Flink uses for their website as well.
