Github Pages site not detecting index.html [closed]

Answer 1

If you are not using Jekyll, delete the _config.yml file from the repository. This fixed the issue for me.

You may also try to push the local repository again.

Answer 2

Pushing a second commit fixed this for me.

Seeing other answers where changes fix this, my guess is that you need to trigger a few of deployments to get it to work.

Every push will trigger a new deployment. You can track deployments at https://github.com/username/username.github.io/deployments.

Answer 3

This happened to me and as soon as I did another commit the issue resolved itself. I just added a space to the index.html file in my dist folder, committed and pushed that change to my gh-pages branch and BAM! Now I can access username.github.io/repository/index.html by just going to username.github.io/repository.

Answer 4

Similar problem. I had to create random change to my html, go through the git add/commit/push process. That fixed it for me! Now I can access to my page without having to add .html at the end of the url.

Answer 5

Pretty late to the party but here is how I fixed it for myself today.

1. Go to settings for your repository: You can find Settings tab in your repo page.

2. Scroll down to GitHub Pages section on the settings page.

3. In the panel, you will have a Source info that states : 'Your GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the gh-pages branch'.

4. However, in my cases, all code was in master branch. So I selected the branch from dropdown as master and in merely a minute, it was published successfully.

Answer 6

It got fixed automatically. I just had to wait for a while for the settings to take effect.
