User Authentication on Github Pages

I am trying to build a website on GitHub pages. This website will have User Authentication ( think of Login ). Each user will have some private pages which only he is able to access. Since GitHub only allows Static Sites, I am unsure if this is even possible here.

Since I am a complete novice to website development I don't know how this will work/ whether this will even work ?

I know that GitHub Pages do not support PHP but they do support JavaScript, thus is there any way possible for this to be implemented ( even if it includes using third party apps/ websites )?

So you won't be able to store any user sessions on Github. There's likely something "creative" you can do to manage users or sessions using Javascript and/or by making requests to 3rd party sites but it's likely not going to be worth the effort, especially if you are a complete novice to web development.

Many web hosting providers offer free or trial accounts, I would suggest trying those or running a VM locally while you learn.
