Hey @TotallyInformation . I just found this … https://emitanaka.github.io/ . Check out the very bottom of the page. I guess this lady is building locally, and then copying the built website into her username.github.io repository … ?
Check this out - https://help.github.com/articles/using-a-static-site-generator-other-than-jekyll/
You can build locally using Hugo or Jekyll, or any other static site generators (just follow their tutorial on how to install and run on your computer) and then upload to Github. Remember, add a gh-pages branch to your repository.

Right, so I did a little investigating and I cannot see a way to use Netlify to build for GitHub.
I have to say that, limiting yourself only to GitHub is the root of the issue here. If something like jimshady.netlify.com is available in Netlify, you would be much better off using Netlify as it will handle the build process for you. That theme looks interesting and is quite nice so Hugo would certainly be a good choice for you and is easy to manage once set up.
You could then even add online content management using Netlify’s own CMS (which I haven’t managed to get my head around as the setup seems complex to me) or Forestry.IO’s CMS which is a lot easier to do the initial setup though may not be as nicely integrated in the long run. Though if your site is fairly static, this is probably not that important a point for you.
