I have a website with a url like mywebsite.github.io . I want to create mywebsite.github.io/robots.txt.
I know that this can be done by setting up a new repository and adding gh-pages branch but how can I do this from my main repository?
When you created your Github page, it made a new repo with the contents of it.
It will be called .github.io, where is... your user name.
Add files there.

I have created the portfolio website using HTML5 and uploaded the respective files in the GitHub with new repository, but I cannot able to view the url link like (it is published at...) shown in YouTube videos.
I searched GitHub pages under the "Code and Automation" tab, still I cannot able to view the URL.
Can somebody please help me where to view my portfolio?
Note: GitHub Pages now uses Actions by default
It means that, instead of configuring a publication source (a branch or docs/ folder), you can add in a .github/workflows (inside your repository) a actions/starter-workflows pages/static.yml in order to publish your static HTML5 pages.

I'm following Github's tutorial to host a Github Page. I creating the repo and set the Github Page to track my main branch and published the Page.
Github says my site should be published at http://test-blog-on-qa.com/auth0/ but the site doesn't load. As a side note: Why would Github choose that weird domain name(test-blog-on-qa)?
I've chosen a theme(Jekyll), pushed an empty commit to rebuild but nothing works. This should be very simple so I'm confused as to what could be wrong?
You are using the Github Custom Domain for your site chu4483.github.io.
Have a look at: https://github.com/jchu4483/jchu4483.github.io/blob/master/CNAME
That's why test-blog-on-qa.com is used as the domain name automatically.
I have set up custom domain for my repo project page on DOMAIN.COM. But how can set it as DOMAIN.COM/REPO instead?
According to the help page, this should be the default.
Here's the response from Github. I don't think this is well-documented on the help page (or I missed it).
To do that, your DOMAIN.COM should be set in your primary repo, i.e. the one name username.github.io. This would be our main repo. Any other repo in our profile for which we've setup GitHub Pages, would start serving at DOMAIN.COM/repoName

A discussion from Stackoverflow about this: [Can I create more than one repository for github pages?
I created a page for a github repository following these instructions:Getting Started with GitHub Pages. Worked perfectly, the page is already hosted.
But I would like to change the page URL, This is the currently URL: http://myusername.github.io/repositoryName/
Is there any way to remove the repository name? (http://myusername.github.io/)
I've seen the articles to configure a custom domain, but I think that's not the case.
To remove the repository name, you'll need to make it a User Page (or an Organization page). Create a repository named myusername.github.io, and commit your content to the master branch. See this help page for more information.
I am trying to figure out how to setup github pages for account rather than for a repository.
E.g
I want the blog address to be like this:
xxx.github.io rather than xxx.github.io/repo. Therefore when i go to xxx.github.iothe static markdown pages should appear rather than a 404 page.
Thanks.
You're looking for Pages' user / organization sites. The official site has a good getting started guide, but the first bit is the most important one:
Create a repository
Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub.
If the first part of the repository doesn’t exactly match your username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
So, instead of creating a gh-pages branch as you would for a project site, you must create a repository that matches your user name.
