I'm right there with you. My newest computer is from 2007, a salvage item, running OpenBSD. Other one is a G4 MacBook still chugging along. Perhaps I'm missing something on the requirements. You mean the requirements to use git (very minimal, install the command-line utility; you don't need the fancy GUI tools) or the requirements to actually view the github pages (may require JavaScript and a current browser, as many "blog" type sites now do, but I don't think this is the case. I haven't verified that though). Alternatively you can provision a small virtual server on something like DigitalOcean for $5/month, install Apache or NGINX and serve static HTML from there.
