Body

I'm working on someone's site and I want it to look a bit professional so I want to follow best practices. Do I use docs or root? And when should I use either?

Use docs when all the files are uploaded to your repo without using any folders. Use root when you make use of folders.

[MrKyDev]

both methods are valid for hosting a GitHub Pages site, using the docs directory is often recommended due to its organizational benefits and ease of management compared to serving directly from the root directory.
