I like the idea of having a git backend for site data, but in the case of the author: why not just use a regular host? There are some pay-for-what-you-use hosts

  I'm using NFS for my personal site. It works perfectly fine, and has cost me $0.08 for this month (so far). Yes, I should write more.

  Well, https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ supports git, bash, sh etc, if you follow the instructions from the comments further down you can use git as a backend ^^

  I think the point of this setup was to get a free solution for those sites that get infrequent hits - that still fit into a git developer's workflow. We all have those sites. I noes! :) Not to mention, while some have mentioned that you could create a github page, does that mean you'd have to create a separate repo for every page? (Not sure how github pages work at that level). This solution would allow for a single repo that holds all the sites - whereas not polluting your repo space. I think this solution is for a particular niche of devs who control N number of domains - who want minimal maintenance and most importantly - no cost. ;)
