github doesn't run PHP, which is what wordpress needs to work

how do you have a WP with no php files xD Also idk how you would use WP without a DB everything it does uses it. I could be ignorant to some special way to make a SSG site with WP? (not JAMstack/headless)

yea I use WP a lot I know the folder structure and it all relies on php/sql So I'm confused on what you are doing period. where does the wp-json get generated? because that is typically used for headless/rest API

but if i do not selct wp-json and select other files then are not selected only my index.html is getting selected i think there might be another issue at least the file should be selected if my folder have css and js files

wait, are you having trouble pushing the files to github using git? I thought you were having issues deploying to github pages

yea this, I was under the impression you were trying to host on github pages (which unless you have a WP rest API and JAMstack front end) you won't be able to do. even then you would still need to host the WP side of things xD

yes there is a issue i am receiving a message you can not upload more than 100 files at a time . i have read a article in which it is written that you can only upload more than 100 files on github via github desktop . so i am trying that now
