Github can host a website for each project, using a gh-pages
branch, see
    http://pages.github.com/
and https://help.github.com/articles/creating-project-pages-manually
  
The website is then hosted on <yourlogin>.github.com/<yourproject>.
For example:
  http://zoggy.github.com/ocamlrss/

Then, using "git archive" command you can easily create an archive of
your sources, copy it into the gh-pages branch and upload it
(add+commit+push), making it available from your project website.
