Its very cool but I am confused. How can I use Ghost CMS for a site hosted on GitHub through Netlify? Or is there any way to directly start using Ghost CMS for a website that I can directly host on Netlify?

Cool development! I’m in the process of migrating my Jekyll site to Gatsby, and am considering using Ghost as the CMS.
I’m not too familiar with Ghost, but is it currently possible to add more content types than just “stories”? For example if I wanted to create a directory over something on my site, or something else where I needed to define the structure myself?
If not, are you planning on adding this in the near future?
It sounds like you want the dynamic routing feature although that’s aimed more at the built-in front-end. If you’re using Gatsby then you’re free to use tags / hidden tags in a similar manner to define the structure of your site.
