Github Pages cannot find index.html only in some directories - github

Question

Update: I got fed up and re-do everything from the ground-up and it fixes itself.
I have a github pages site built with Jekyll and Chirpy theme.
Locally, it runs great.
However when deployed on Github Pages there are a few directories that return the 404 page even though the path is valid and there is an index.html file in it.
Example:
https://catmandx.github.io/posts/Wgel-CTF-Writeup/ display normally
https://catmandx.github.io/tags/cmc/index.html returns 404
http://127.0.0.1:4000/tags/cmc/index.html display correcly.
I have temporarily make the repo public, it's here: https://github.com/catmandx/catmandx.github.io
I have been banging my head for a few hours now. I have tried committing and pushing again to re-run Actions, manually editing the /tags/cmc/index.html file in the gh-pages branch but nothing works.
This is the _config.yml file, not sure if it helps but here:

Update: This is the log, as you can see, the files exists but all the subdirectories in /categories and /tags returns 404:

Answer 1

You can solve this issue by executing bash tools/init.sh
You will also have to run this init.sh every time there is a category/tag created.
