Just wanted to share some information that took me some time to figure out. I am using Github to host my portfolio. Github is a static website meaning that HTML, CSS and JS will work but not PHP which makes any Post content not work.
I have been searching for a solution or a way to get around this and finally found that you need to find a company that will allow you to change your form endpoint.
I found plenty of services that charge for this but, for a simple website that you don't expect a huge amount of submissions, I found formspree. It allows 1000 submits a month which is perfect for my usage.
formspree.io is the site, I am just sharing because this was a bit of a frustrating process trying to figure out why my PHP wasn't working on github. Various sites have different information that varies widely and ways to fix it but, none actually worked for me until I ran across the above info about your form endpoint. You can google that and you will find plenty of other companies offering services.
