1: Create a file name callled sitemap.xml in your Github repository and insert the code below.

 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 
            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
  <url>
    <loc>https://www.sitewebdevelopment.com/index.html</loc>
    <lastmod>2025-11-07T07:25:37+00:00</lastmod>
    <priority>1.00</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>

You can repeat the url below for every page you add to the repository by changing the .html file.

 
<urlset>
    <url>
        <loc>https://www.sitewebdevelopment.com/index.html</loc>
        <lastmod>2025-11-07T07:25:37+00:00</lastmod>
        <priority>1.00</priority>
    </url>
</urlset>

Note: You can also add image-sitemap.xml and video-sitemap.xml to the repository.
