I'm trying to set-up a github page with a name scheme of 'orgname.github.io'. In my case, I named my repository with "natoursqm.github.io" but I still get this '404 There isn't a GitHub Pages site here." error and I don't know how will I fix this problem, I've been quite searching for answers here but most of them used a 'username.github.io' name scheme.
Your page will have to be the name of your GitHub username.
So in your current case, you would need to have a repo like this:
quizonmarielle.github.io
Otherwise you'll have to create a new GitHub account with the username "natoursqm" to create a GitHub page called
natoursqm.github.io
Also wanted to note that the GitHub page HAS to be in this format
your_username.github.io
it cannot have anything extra with the username
Take a look at my github portfolio.
https://sujithnath.github.io/sujithnath/
the URL should end with your repo name. here it is nothing but sujithnath
You have to configure from you repo settings.

TLDR: GitHub Pages isn't working.
I have a little knowledge on GitHub and tried multiple fixes to no avail. One repository is only showing readme file contents.
Please explain in lamest terms.
New to web development, I finally was able to complete my first site, but I'm unable to actually deploy the files for some reason; please forgive me, I literally have no idea what any of the git terminologies are.
I purchased a pro subscription in order to keep the repository private and the site public.
Every file is present in what seems to be the main root directory, but nothing is being actually presented.
I've created two different repositories in an effort to fix this, as I've seen different methods are available.
The first repository includes a README file because I was originally instructed to do so, however, all the site link does is present that README file's contents;
I also attempted to add a permalink fix within the file, but all it did was add that text to the other text presented.
The second repository in question literally greets me with nothing but a 404 error.
The solution I tried for the second repository was to have the repository name share my username as well since that seems to be where the site's link originates, but no present changes have occurred.
Finally, the waiting game solution hasn't beared any fruit yet either aside from updating the README file's contents.
All help is very much appreciated.
Check first:
Your GitHub repository name, which depends on the type of GitHub Pages you are creating
If you're creating a user or organization site, your repository must be named <user>.github.io or <organization>.github.io.
your GitHub Pages Publishing source
If you use the default publishing source for your GitHub Pages site, your site will publish automatically. You can also choose to publish your site from a different branch or folder.
You can add more pages to your site by creating more new files.
Each file will be available on your site in the same directory structure as your publishing source.
For example, if the publishing source for your project site is the gh-pages branch, and you create a new file called /about/contact-us.md on the gh-pages branch, the file will be available at https://<user>.github.io/<repository>/about/contact-us.html.
Make sure you have GitHub Pages enabled for every repository and that it's set to the branch you want to publish by checking your Pages settings at github.com/<user>/<repo>/settings/pages. If enabled, there should be a link on that page that takes you to the site.
guys I'm supposed to upload assignment for this online course..
I followed the tutorial along exactly but something is not working properly.
https://zwc1625.github.io/coursera-web24/ is the where my repo is published and it's working fine.
but,
https://zwc1625.github.io/coursera-web24/mod_2/
where mod_2 is the assignment folder containing 1 html and 1 css file,
when I try to type in this address in the url 404 comes up
My local drive is up to date with the github repo
Help. New and very frustrated with github, I'm spending so much time with this and making no progress.
Github will serve a few specifically named files automatically, like 'index.html', 'readme.md' or 'readme'. Most servers will look in the specified folder (https://zwc1625.github.io/coursera-web24/mod_2/) for files named: 'index' or 'default' with a specific extension like 'html', 'asp', 'xhtml'.
As the file in your folder 'mod_2' is called 'module2HTML.html' it will not get served automatically. Consequently, if you want to open that file in your browser, you will need to name it specifically in the URL you enter in the browser addressbar: https://zwc1625.github.io/coursera-web24/mod_2/module2HTML.html
Furthermore, when you did name your file 'index.html' it may be possible that there is a time lag between your 'commit' and Github being able to serve your page. Some patience may be required....
I have a github repository that I want to add my hugo site to. From the docs folder in my repository I can run github pages.
Therefore, I have changed my publishDir parameter in the hugo config to docs.
publishDir = "docs"
Now when I build hugo it ouputs everything in the docs folder which is great, the issue is running a subdomain from there.
How do I get a subdomain on hugo that is generated into my docs folder that acts like a subdomain on github pages?
I know I would need to use a CNAME and then tell it to say /docs/subdomain is actually subdomain.site.com
but I am not sure how to set that up in HUGO. and where do I put the subdomain folder? in the static folder so it would be theme_name/static/subdomain which would ouput into the docs like docs/subdomain?
If this is the way, can I use all the parameters and shortcodes in my static folder?
Also, if I need to create 2 hugo installations, one for the main site and one for the subdomain site, is their a way to share site params, configs, static files and layout files etc… ?
You have to create a custom script to create two different builds and then
Add a CNAME file to your project's repository. The content of this file must be a single line specifying the bare subdomain for your project's custom subdomain (e.g. pjname.mydomain.com).
In your DNS provider's settings, create a new CNAME record that points project name to either the root (usually denoted by #), if you have previously set up an apex domain, or to myusername.github.io if you've set up a custom subdomain. It should look something like this:
If you have two sites that you want to serve separately under two domains/subdomains (or even subpath), it's better that you create two different repositories for that.
In your username.github.io repository, you are using the "docs" folder to serve your site. However, this procedure will not work for other repositories. To serve from other repositories, name the repo whatever you like and create a "gh-pages" branch on it. The branch root must contain the entire site. You can access this site using username.github.io/your-repo-name/.
In this new repo you can add a CNAME. Hope this works. I did almost the same thing, except that I used subpaths instead of subdomains. Here's my main profile rafed.github.io and my blog rafed.github.io/devra/
I have a Github project, github.com/jeti/matrix, and I set up a "Github pages" site for the project so that it is accessible here jeti.github.io/matrix/.
That is all configurable through Github.
Now, I would like to add a subdomain of my personal website so that the website is accessible via the subdomain matrix.jeti.io of my website jeti.io.
I am just really confused how to do that because the documentation don't seem to show how to redirect a project page to a subdomain. I have tried a few permutations of what I think should be the correct inputs, but because these DNS changes take so long to propagate, it is really hard to test.
Specifically, I would like to know what value to enter into Github as the Custom domain (it seems to me that this should simply be the subdomain matrix.jeti.io, but I am not sure, so I have left this blank):
Then I also need to create the subdomain. I bought the domain through OVH, and they provide a few options for adding a DNS entry:
My understanding is that I need to add 2 apex records. I did that already:
What is unclear to me is whether I also need to add a CNAME entry. This is what the form looks like when I try to add a CNAME entry:
So in recap:
I did not specify the Custom Domain on the Github site.
I created the 2 apex records shown above.
I did not create a CNAME entry.
Please tell me which of these steps needs to be changed and how to modify it.
After more trial and error, the answer seems to be
The Github custom domain should indeed be matrix.jeti.io
I did not need the apex records. In fact, Github emailed me discouraging it. So I deleted the apex records.
In OVH, I added a DNS CNAME entry like this:
The thing that was confusing me is that I thought that the CNAME entry needed to have a link to the original Github pages WITH the project name jeti.github.io/matrix. That was wrong. The target is simply jeti.github.io. (Note the period on the end).
On http://github.com developer keep the HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images files of the project. How can I see the HTML output in browser?
For example this: https://github.com/necolas/css3-social-signin-buttons/blob/master/index.html
When I open this it doesn't show the rendered HTML of the code of author. It shows the page as a source code.
Is it possible to see it as rendered HTML directly? Otherwise I always need to download the whole ZIP just to see the result.
The most comfortable way to preview HTML files on GitHub is to go to https://htmlpreview.github.io/ or just prepend it to the original URL, i.e.: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js/blob/master/index.html
If you don't want to download an archive you can use GitHub Pages to render this.
Fork the repository to your account.
Clone it locally on your machine
Create a gh-pages branch (if one already exists, remove it and create a new one based off master).
Push the branch back to GitHub.
View the pages at http://username.github.io/repo`
In code:
git clone git#github.com:username/repo.git
cd repo
git branch gh-pages
# Might need to do this first: git branch -D gh-pages
git push -u origin gh-pages # Push the new branch back to github
Go to http://username.github.io/repo
🚩 Message from RawGit's creator and owner on https://rawgit.com:
RawGit has reached the end of its useful life
October 8, 2018
RawGit is now in a sunset phase and will soon shut down. It's been a fun five years, but all things must end.
GitHub repositories that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until at least October of 2019. URLs for other repositories are no longer being served.
If you're currently using RawGit, please stop using it as soon as you can.
When I tried to use it, I got:
403 Forbidden
RawGit will soon shut down and is no longer serving new repos. >> Please visit https://rawgit.com for more details.
You can use RawGit:
https://rawgit.com/necolas/css3-social-signin-buttons/master/index.html
It works better (at the time of this writing) than http://htmlpreview.github.com/, serving files with proper Content-Type headers.
Additionally, it also provides CDN URL for use in production.
It's really easy to do with github pages, it's just a bit weird the first time you do it. Sorta like the first time you had to juggle 3 kittens while learning to knit. (OK, it's not all that bad)
You need a gh-pages branch:
Basically github.com looks for a gh-pages branch of the repository. It will serve all HTML pages it finds in here as normal HTML directly to the browser.
How do I get this gh-pages branch?
Easy. Just create a branch of your github repo called gh-pages.
Specify --orphan when you create this branch, as you don't actually want to merge this branch back into your github branch, you just want a branch that contains your HTML resources.
$ git checkout --orphan gh-pages
What about all the other gunk in my repo, how does that fit in to it?
Nah, you can just go ahead and delete it. And it's safe to do now, because you've been paying attention and created an orphan branch which can't be merged back into your main branch and remove all your code.
I've created the branch, now what?
You need to push this branch up to github.com, so that their automation can kick in and start hosting these pages for you.
git push -u origin gh-pages
But.. My HTML is still not being served!
It takes a few minutes for github to index these branches and fire up the required infrastructure to serve up the content. Up to 10 minutes according to github.
The steps layed out by github.com
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-project-pages-manually
I read all the comments and thought that GitHub made it too difficult for normal user to create GitHub pages until I visited GitHub theme Page where its clearly mentioned that there is a section of "GitHub Pages" under settings Page of the concerned repo where you can choose the option "use the master branch for GitHub Pages." and voilà!!...checkout that particular repo on https://username.github.io/reponame
Also, if you use Tampermonkey, you can add a script that will add preview with http://htmlpreview.github.com/ button into actions menu beside 'raw', 'blame' and 'history' buttons.
Script like this one:
https://gist.github.com/vanyakosmos/83ba165b288af32cf85e2cac8f02ce6d
I have found another way:
Click on the "Raw" button if you haven't already
Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C
Open "Developer Tools" with F12
In the "Inspector" right-click on the tag and choose "Edit HTML"
Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V
Ctr+Return
Tested on Firefox but it should work in other browsers too
If you have configured GitHub Pages you can get your public url like as:
https://<username>.github.io/<repository>/index.html
where <username> & <repository> will be the placeholder for username & repo name respectively
So, the result will be like this:
http://necolas.github.io/css3-social-signin-buttons/index.html
If it is an organization with GithubPages enabled in all the repositories it will be something like:
https://<org>.github.io/<repository>/
Two approaches (for public repositories) worked well for me: both VERY SIMPLE and ABLE TO RENDER COMPLEX HTML PAGES with links to local CSS files and local JAVASCRIPT/VUE files.
METHOD 1 - With GitHub pages
To set up, go to: https://github.com/YOUR_ACCT_NAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME/settings/pages (see screen shot below)
Example of my original HTML page on the repo: https://github.com/BrainAnnex/life123/blob/main/experiments/life_1D/diffusion/diffusion_1.htm
How it looks rendered: https://brainannex.github.io/life123/experiments/life_1D/diffusion/diffusion_1.htm Notice how all the styling, graphics and interactive controls are all good :)
METHOD 2 - With free service raw.githack.com
Go to https://raw.githack.com/ and enter the full URL of yourpage (including the "/blob" part); e.g. https://github.com/BrainAnnex/life123/blob/main/experiments/life_1D/diffusion/diffusion_1.htm
Then the site generates 2 links that work quite well :)
A good alternative if GitHub pages were to become unavailable!
This isn't a direct answer, but I think it is a pretty sweet alternative.
http://www.s3auth.com/
It allows you to host your pages behind basic auth. Great for things like api docs in your private github repo. just ad a s3 put as part of your api build.
If you are using an enterprise Github, you might not want to have a public facing github pages. One thing that worked for us is to:
For a HTML file in: https://github.private-repo.com/team/project/blob/master/order.html
Following is the URL that opens in a browser and retrieves the latest file as HTML:
https://github.private-repo.com/pages/team/project/order.html
