I have sympathy for you for being downvoted. I have raised this issue a couple of times before for using github for things other than hosting source code (hosting online courses, using github issues as calendar or comment system for blogs). No downvotes but people laughed it off like I was suggesting something crazy. You know, facebook started off a social media and now it has become effectively a news outlet and entire Internet in some places. Google started as a search engine but now become many people's part of life. When people start using services for everything, it's the service provider that is happily harvesting the data. Users end up being tied to a system that they find hard to replace. Github offers free hosting, free domain, free https certs, no need ssh, no need CMS, pretty neat and convenient, except now you depends on github's black box for hosting. Same for github APIs, which are not part of git, but github's proprietary technology. Wait until Github uses that as a leverage against you and you are forced to migrate off it. Edit: I'm not saying don't use github. However, I would suggest not abusing it or become too dependent on it for things other than what it was designed to do.
