My new Github page isn't showing up

Question

So I\'m following this guide here to create a Github page

I created a repository, cloned it to my project directory and pushed, finally got to this last step:

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the site just needed some time to show up, but I was getting a 404 error after pushing my master branch... Then I changed my 'theme' in the repo's settings. All of a sudden it started working! A file called config.yml appeared with the theme metadata.

Answer 2

Rename your repository to <yourusername>.github.io as explained in the documentation.

To publish a user site, you must create a repository owned by your user account that's named <user>.github.io.

Edit: You can only use your own account name for a User or Org Pages repository. A repository like joe/bob.github.io will not build Pages.

Answer 3

In the case you have followed everything told in the steps such as : Repository name should be username.github.io

The main thing is you must add READ.md file to your repository. For sure your website will show up.

Answer 4

Don't forget to enable Git Pages

Answer 5

I had same issue with Angular app. I forgot to make repo public :) Even tho i didn't use the username/username.github.io repo naming scheme it worked at <username>.github.io/<repo-name>.

Answer 6

My page was working, but then I tried to connect it to Heroku which led to a 404 error. After switching back to the original, I still got the error. I got around this by going in the settings of the repo and actually changing the name.
