I currently have the following Git Repository:
https://github.com/SebastianGode/ansible-collection-cloud/tree/gh-pages
And the GitHub Page link:
https://sebastiangode.github.io/ansible-collection-cloud/
The problem is that GitHub Pages will only solve the index.html and will throw an 404 for all required css and image stuff:
As the documentation is getting automatically generated by a travis-ci pipeline it's probably impossible to change paths, but as it works when hosted it locally it also should work on GitHub pages.
Is there any solution to this problem?
I fixed it.
GitHub has Jekyll running behind it which will mess up special paths (here the underscore paths). You can disable jekyll by just creating a .nojekyll file in the root directory of the branch. If you use travis-CI for something like that and run a tox script just call the command touch {toxinidir}/.nojekyll
This will result in a working website for me.

I'm a total newbie when it comes to Jekyll, and have encountered a big problem. I'm probably doing something wrong or missing something, but what?
I find it very confusing trying to install the "Agency Jekyll Theme" which is the first theme I'm trying out. Mostly because there are several ways to do it, the commands don't add up and there is a lot of "you can do this" embedded into what you actually have to do to install it.
These are the guides I've been following:
https://jekyllrb.com/docs/step-by-step/01-setup/
https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/jekyll-agency/1.2.0
http://jekyllthemes.org/themes/agency/
Basically, I've tried all the 3 possible ways to install it without success.
I'm running on Windows.
My problem:
jekyll serve (ran in my site folder) creates a _site folder and content in the subfolders css, img and js. Nothing else is created, not index.html, and other files needed directly under _site folder.
In my site root folder, there are only _config.yml and Gemfile, after completing the initial steps.
There seems to be a problem with actually downloading the full theme into my root folder. When I manually download the agency-jekyll-theme-starter-master.zip and extract the entire content in my root site folder, there is index.html, _data folder, etc. However, in the assets folder, there is only an img folder.
As a result, when I open http://localhost:4000/agency-jekyll-theme-starter/ in a browser there is only a directory listing with the folder "assets".
Where do the css folder and its content come from that generates under _site?
My workaround:
I run jekyll build so that the site in its entirety is placed under _site folder. However, with this process, the whole point of using Jekyll is lost because I have to edit the generated HTML files, CSS files, etc. To change simple stuff like renaming the page/navigation "Services" to another word I have to go through the HTML file and replace all occurrences
My successful attempt to reproduce your issue:
I tried this method from http://jekyllthemes.org/themes/agency/
Using the Starter Template
This is the fastest and easiest way to get up and running on GitHub Pages. Simply generate your own repository by clicking here, then replace the sample content with your own and configure for your needs.
The starter template (that is also linked on the page above) allowed me to start a code space and commit the repo content into my new branch.
I could reproduce your problem, there were no styles when running jekyll serve.
The reason for the issue:
The problem is the baseurl in the _config.yml file. It points to a relative path that does not exist in your repository. Your baseurl / path is "", because you run your server from the root folder, most probably both locally and later remotely using GitHub pages.
The solution for the issue:
In the _config.yml file in your repo, change this one line
from
baseurl: "/agency-jekyll-theme-starter" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog
to
baseurl: "" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog

I hope this was understandable and helpful and that you can solve your issue with these instructions. Don't hesitate to comment for further clarification.
I am using Jekyll and GitHub Pages to host a blog. However, I have the following issue:
I have created a new post in the _posts folder and then built the site locally using the following command: bundle exec jekyll serve. When I access the site on localhost:4000, I can click on the link to the new post and access it.
When I commit my changes to the master branch on this repo, it builds without any errors. However, when I now click on the new post, it throws a 404 Error saying the page could not be found.
How do I resolve this error?
You've hardcoded a link.
/functional/2019/03/02/make-use-of-reduce.html
must be :
/functional/2019/03/01/make-use-of-reduce.html
Note : Your index.html looks like it is integrally hard coded. This is not how jekyll is supposed to be used. This can quickly lead to unmaintainable code base.
I'm a complete beginner to web development and am trying to deploy my first site via Netlify. Despite my site working fine when being displayed from my local machine, I'm given the following error when navigating to my site's URL:
Page Not FoundLooks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site.Back to our site
Since my page is functional on my local machine, I believe the error lies within my Github repo and/or my deploy settings. Here's my repo:
https://github.com/Cotton0419/TestSite
And my deploy settings:
Repository: github.com/Cotton0419/TestSite
Base directory: acme
Build command: Not set
Publish directory: acme/disp
Deploy log visibility: Logs are public
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can supplement more information if need be.
The Base directory on Netlify is only used by the build environment for a reference to your code base (defaults to root of the repository if not given).
The Publish directory would be relative to the base directory. So in your case disp or acme/disp if using the default.
You are referencing assets in a location that does not exist in your published paths, so they would not exist in your deploy to the CDN.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css">
You should move your assets into your deploy disp folder and edit the correct paths into your code files.
Similar problem I encountered today. I decided to upload an old portfolio I had made a while back. Then for some reason after running the URL on Netlify, nothing happened. The only thing that showed up was a prompt similar to yours -
Page Not Found
Looks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site.
Back to our site
After revisiting the HTML and CSS files, I realized that I had set the title for my HTML file to porfolio.html instead of index.html which solved my problem!
For this kind of error please kindly check the HTML filename change it into index.html it worked for me!
I'm using create-react-app which is serving its files from the /build folder. Typically Github Pages looks at index.html at the root level, but I'd like to direct it to look at /build for deployment.
I've tried to add "homepage": "/build" inside my package.json configuration, and Github Settings says it's deployed via <username>.github.io. However, the site just shows my README.md file.
Any help is appreciated :)
The problem here is that this is a Web Browser issue, and not a Host issue. When you visit a webpage your browser always looks for the index.html file at the URL so localhost:8080 becomes localhost:8080/index.html.
This means that there are a couple ways to fix this. You could create an index.html file in your root directory and then have that serve up the scripts in the build folder like <script src="build/main.js"></script>
You could also go through the pain and suffering of manually adding /build to the end of the URL. But you don't want users to have to do that, so you could write a script to redirect you there.
Good luck!
When I run jekyll serve locally, I get the following ouput
local site
Then when I push to Github and host on Github pages, the sidebar links don't work the same way
github pages site
I'm running jekyll 3.1.1 (latest version) while Github Pages depends on 3.0.3. Do I need to uninstall jekyll and install the older version? Or is there something I can do to make my local and Github pages match?
The repo on github is available at (sorry can only post 2 links)
github.com/samarthbhaskar/samarthbhaskar.github.io
With help from Github, I was able to solve this.
There was a whitespace issue in the front matter of my index.md file for the page I was trying to create. I erased and retyped the front matter as:
---
layout: page
title: Movie Reviews
---
... and that did the trick! Hope this answer helps someone else trying to solve the same issue. Now to figure out what might be going on with my Sublime Text 3 settings to cause white space issues.
You need to serve Jekyll with bundler, so it will reproduce the same environment as GitHub Pages does.
Follow the steps I described on this answer
And you should be ok.
Let me know how it goes for you ok?
Hope to have helped!
Additionally, you could force your push to the remote repo on github with a git command in order to override any inconsistencies between the local and remote repositories. But glad this worked out for you!
git push -f
