GitHub Pages Organization Complete

What Was Done

I've organized all your documentation into a comprehensive GitHub Pages site structure. Here's what was created:

🎯 Core Files Created

  1. _config.yml - Jekyll configuration for GitHub Pages
  2. README.md - New project homepage with full documentation links
  3. docs/index.md - Updated documentation hub with categorized links
  4. .github/workflows/pages.yml - Automated deployment workflow
  5. docs/GITHUB_PAGES_SETUP.md - Complete setup guide (this helped create everything)

/LINUX_QUICKSTART.md              → /docs/linux-quickstart
/OAUTH_QUICKSTART.md              → /docs/oauth-quickstart

4. Professional Homepage

New README.md includes:
