Every github profile/organization has it's custom subdomain which is username.github.io. In order to customize and publish it to github pages we needs to make it's repository which is named exactly the same username.github.io's visibility to public. But I've seen that people are hiding this repository, even from the repository tab but still publishing the page. How to do this?
It is only possible with GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and GitHub Enterprise Server.

I wrote a script to clone many repositories from my organisation (The organisation is set as a business), but these repositories do not automatically show up in GitHub Desktop. It seems as though to make repositories show up in GitHub desktop I need to clone through GitHub desktop or add each repository manually through the local option.
Is there a way to make organisation repositories that I have cloned automatically show up on GitHub desktop?
I've been able to publish GitHub sites under my domain on GitHub Pages from the master branch without issue, however in the docs it says to use a gh-pages branch or master/docs for publishing projects.
I also have a repository for my homepage index.html file/assets, where I link to each of the published GitHub repositories (which are published to my domain name.com/repo-name).
Why have I been able to publish from the master branch? Is there any reason to publish from the gh-pages branch or master/docs instead for publishing project repositories?
GitHub Pages can publish from any of those sources: gh-pages branch, master/docs, or just from the repo itself. It's more of a preference which route you use.
For example, Jekyll is publishing using the master/docs option. The rest of the repo outside of the docs folder is for the actual Jekyll code. One possible reason is that PR's with new features must also include documentation of that new feature. Otherwise, it won't get merged.
The gh-pages option means that code and documentation can be paced or managed differently. They live in the same repo, but the branches can grow at differing speeds.
In terms of technical differences, there's no technical costs/benefits to each option as far as I know. It's just how you want to organize your code and documentation.
Hope that helps!
GitHub requires user and organization sites to build from master, while project sites can build from gh-pages. If I understand correctly, you are publishing to your user site, i.e. yourusername.github.io.
Similar questions have been asked but I haven't been able to find my answer:
My site is fine locally and all the correct files seem to be on my GitHub, but my published site (https://username.github.io/project) is still only showing my first intitial push.
Can someone direct me to troubleshoot?
From "Configuring a publishing source for GitHub Pages"
make sure you have enabled GitHub Pages to publish your site from master or gh-pages
or that you are one a master branch, subfolder docs.
Then you might need to wait a minute or two before seeing those pages rendered.
If I have an HTML project repo in GitHub, can I use my GitHub pages (which is a different repo) to publish it?
Is this article applicable for my requirement?
I am able to access Github Wiki pages directly using the below URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Siminov/android-core/Preface.md
But if I create a branch of master Github Wiki then how to access those pages?
Non-master branches of GitHub wikis are not available through the web interface:
Once you have cloned the wiki, you can add new files, edit existing ones, and commit your changes. You and your collaborators can create branches when working on wikis, but only changes pushed to the master branch will be made live and available to your readers.
The only way to access them is via the wiki repository using whatever software you prefer for working with Git.
