Static resources not loading on GitHub Pages

Question

I have created a website and am trying to host it on git hub pages. My site is available at -

http://.github.io//
         


        

Answer 1

From the documentation to setup a custom domain:

Warning: Project pages subpaths like http://username.github.io/projectname will not be redirected to a project's custom domain.

This means that due to the relative paths you can either have the assets on your username.github.io/project-name or on your custom domain.

If you want them in the github one check what the documentation says about the baseurl configuration, it's at the bottom of the page, in the "Project Url Structure". It's simple you just need to add a

baseurl: /project-name

row to your _config.yml and use the {{ baseurl }} tag in your permalinks, jekyll will do the substitutions. And to test it locally just run the server with this option

jekyll serve --baseurl ''

Hope it helps :) Happy coding!
