I created a simple website with Jekyll and pushed it to a github repository.
A website was created at <myusername>.github.io and it looks perfect: just like it was when I hosted it locally with jekyll serve.
Afterwards, I connected it to a custom domain following the official instructions (changing the cname a A host), and all worked correctly: now github shows a message saying: "Your is published at ."
But now, when I enter , the website is completely "deformed": images have the wrong size, links don't work etc...
It is strange that all worked correctly when using the default domain, but now it broke.
What is the issue here?
I ended up solving it myself by changing the url in _config.yml to the new domain (It was still set to the github.io domain).

I created my website using the tutorial available at
https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/creating-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll
I used /docs as origin of the data and pushed the website as described.
I successfully created the website rosarioiacono.github.io using Jekyll.
Now I wanted to change the name of the website. To do so, I decided to delete the previous repository and start the process again.
I deleted the repository and removed the origin.
I then started the process trying to create the website datagronomist.io, but at the end, what I get is a website with the address https://rosarioiacono.github.io/datagronomist.github.io/
I would need some help to do that.
Recently I tried to make a website using HTML and CSS and then I tried to host it on GitHub by commit under a repository name myname_examp.github.io, but when I tried to access it through the web browser using myname_examp.github.io there was an error 404.
Is there some steps to do?
If your Github account is free tire, the Github pages repo must be public.
If you are using GitHub Enterprise Cloud and has access control, the site can only be accessed by people with read access to the repository where the site is published from.
You can use actions status to check whether your site ready:
See more on Github docs
BTW, if your site is project type (repo not named user/org.github.io), you shall go to repo setting enable pages.
I already tried a million times and not able to figure out where I am going wrong. I tried simple static website repo. I even added parcel bundler. I just get same error message.
I even forked netlify's own demo repo. And I got same message. Why I am not able to deploy the site?
I looked at forums, blogs and even answer in this forum and I am not finding clue to this exact message. I didn't have netlify.toml file. I added that file too and I don't see any change in deployment status.
Initially I was trying to just create site online by connecting to GitHub repo. When I tried Netlify-CLI I could see some deploy action happen. But server was not render. Found a guide here: https://github.com/Tanu-N-Prabhu/Multiplication-Table-App
Followed last 3 steps under Deployment section:
Go to your Netlify Dashboard to the project. Click on Site has not yet been Deployed. Again click on Deploy Preview this will unlock the Preview Deploy which is a temporary URL.
After viewing the Preview, click on Publish deploy option to deploy your project.
Now your project is live and deployed on the internet.
These steps worked. But Javascript files were not rendering. I wonder why the whole process is so cumbersome when they advertise everything is taken care by Netlify automatically? There is no document for Site has not yet been deployed on their site and google search only leads me to Page not found forum page.
You must add the --prod.
The command should look like this: netlify deploy --prod.
This fixed it for me.
I am aware that on GitHub you can create a repository, <username>.github.io, which will be a personal website. I also understand you can link custom domains to this, so example.com would show the website in your GitHub repo.
I have a couple questions though.
At the moment, I have a GitHub project - let's call it FooProject. I have purchased a custom domain name for a website to showcase the project. How can I create a website for this, hosted on GitHub? (not a personal site in the form <username>.github.io, but a project site).
Also, can I give the GitHub repository a different name like fooproject.com, or does it something specific?
I suppose what I am really asking is, when hosting a website on GitHub...
Can you host your website using a GitHub repository of any name (like fooproject.com)?
If not, I'm aware of using gh-pages branches for the website of a project. How would this work with a custom domain?
If that isn't a good option either, what's the best option for my use case?
Hope that's clear.
So I managed to answer my own questions in the end - here's what I did.
My website is going to be something to showcase a different project I am working on. I could have hosted the website from a /doc directory or gh-pages branch in my project repository and then set up a custom domain from there.
However, there was also the option of creating a repository with any name and hosting the website from the master branch - this method appealed to me more.
I created a new repository named the same as my domain name, example.com (it doesn't really matter what you call the repository). Then, using git, I added some website files - index.html, stylesheet.css, etc.
Once my repository was ready, I configured its master branch as a publishing source for GitHub pages - see this help page for details.
Then with my DNS provider (GoDaddy, in my case), I configured the CNAME and A records (for the www subdomain and apex domain respectively). There are also help pages on GitHub for setting up www subdomains and setting up apex domains. Note that it takes a little while for the changes made on the DNS to take effect.
Finally, I added my custom domain to my GitHub repository - see the GitHub help page for adding or removing custom domains.
Here's a summary (for using any GitHub repository to host a website):
Create your repository - repository name doesn't matter.
Add your website files - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Configure the master branch as a publishing source
Configure CNAME and A records with DNS provider
Add the custom domain to the GitHub repository settings
I want to host a simple blog on Github pages. Therefore I set up a repository and used Hexo as a compile and deployment tool.
After testing my site locally I run the following command:
hexo deploy --generate
Sadly I, just a few seconds later, get the following message from Github:
The page build failed with the following error:
The hacker theme is not currently supported on GitHub Pages. For more
information, see
https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-jekyll-theme-to-your-github-pages-site.
For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see:
https://help.github.com/articles/troubleshooting-jekyll-builds
If you have any questions you can contact us by replying to this
email.
How can I publish my site using the hacker theme? If this is not possible which themes are supported by Github? How do I use them with Hexo?
Bypassing Jekyll on GitHub Pages
It is now possible to completely bypass Jekyll processing on GitHub
Pages by creating a file named .nojekyll in the root of your pages
repo and pushing it to GitHub. This should only be necessary if your
site uses files or directories that start with underscores since
Jekyll considers these to be special resources and does not copy them
to the final site.

[..] I used the username.github.io repo and deployed directly to master
and it works!
