Yes: every project uses a git repository to develop its pages. you can push
to your pages repo, the pages feature builds your static content and pushes
it out to update the hosted site. I was studying the exact mechanics last
night.

There is mostly the initial effort to get it set up. There doesn't seem to
me more effort involved in maintaining this additional bit of GitLab than
there already is with the rest of it.

Do you want to run an experiment with GitLab pages to see if it suits your
needs?
