Best place to write and host a programming guide

I would like to do a small-medium guide on something I did that I couldn't find so many resources for, what do you think would be the best place to do this without so much hassle and preferably with free hosting?

github pages -> https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/about-github-pages-and-jekyll
- Oh that's actually awesome thanks!
I find dev.to nice
- I used to write on Medium before, but I switched to dev.to because it was more friendly to readers.
- That looks good, thanks
Create github project, write markdown documents as readme.md?
- This or a gist. So much easier to find and great for cloning and referencing too (others can link to specific lines for instance which Medium isn’t as great for).
I use GitHub pages and mdbook (https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook)
- mdBook is also really cool
It matters how big your guide will be. Just some Markdown? Github Gist. A few Markdown files? Gist/ Repository. A large-scale documentation? Use Github Pages.
Hope this helps
