Website not displaying properly after publishing to GitHub pages

I made changes to a forked repository and served the website successfully on my desktop. However, after publishing the repository to GitHub pages, the website is not displaying properly.
I followed the steps in the GitHub pages documentation.

Website not displaying properly:
Website on local:
This not a simple html pages website, Your app is not detected by git hub. So only your index.html file is displayed.
Git hub servers are bit slower, So may be your static files are not displayed.
Suggestions - Use vercel.com for fast deployment and it's also beginners friendly.

Github pages published but nothing shows up

I built a Jekyll site locally (Jekyll version 4.1.1) and the theme I'm using is Hydeout 4.1.0. The site runs fine locally. I've pushed it to my repository on github and it says the site is published, but the page loads to just a white space.
You just need to change theme: jekyll-theme-hydeout to remote_theme: fongandrew/hydeout and it is working.
I am creating you a pull request on your repo incorporating this change.

Force github pages to use _site folder

I have a github pages website. I need to use the jekyll-pagniation-v2 gem, but github pages only support v1. Thus I'm compiling the site locally and pusing up the entire _site directory to my github repo.
My understanding is that it should use what I've pushed in the _site dir, which looks fine locally. When I view the live site the index page doesn't contain any of the posts. As if it tried to rebuild the site and failed to find any posts because it's using the wrong pagination version.
How can I ensure github pages is not rebuulding the site and is using the version of the site I pushed to _site
The issue was that it wasn't actually pushing changes to the right branch and i'm an idiot.

username.github.io pages not published as github pages

I have Created the repository named as username.github.io and tried to access the same URL in browser but i'm getting 404 error.
Checked in repository settings -> Under Github Pages Section, But it was not showing the message "your site is published at username.github.io"
Apart from this, is there anything i have to do...
Screenshot:
Actual URL: https://username.github.io
To create a GitHub Pages site for your own username (i.e. a personal website and not a website for a repository), you need to replace the username part of username.github.io with your GitHub username. For example, if my username on GitHub is abcde, I would create a repository called abcde.github.io and then enable GitHub Pages in its settings as you have done.
You need select source branch to publish(Initially it will be none. So nothing published) in
Settings -> Github pages --> source and click save. Then only it will be published to username.github.io URL.
Make sure your branch has index.html file.
Normally, github pages URLs are generated as username.github.io/repo-name.
I'm not sure what naming the repo as you did would do, but in most cases, just name the repo as you normally would (a description of the project) and then publish the sites that way. If you already have code, here is how to rename the project in Github and updating the remote url
I'm not sure exactly why your pages aren't generating, but it likely has to do with the name of your repo.

Sync GitHub Pages Configuration Between Projects and Organization

I have a GitHub organization where I publish a webpage from the repository orgname.github.io. Of course, I have several project repositories where I'd like to host documentation about those projects. This is all possible through GitHub Pages.
However, I'm not sure how to synchronize the configuration of the organization page with the project pages. I want the website to look the same whether I'm at
http://orgname.github.io or if I'm at http://orgname.github.io/project.
What can I do to keep the Jekyll-based configuration in sync?
This is the solution we've come up with:
Create a repository to contain the Jekyll configuration, jekyll-website.
Fork/copy the repository to the repository <orgname>.github.io.
In every project, create a git subtree as the docs directory.
Whenever you need to make change to the look/design of the webpage, do it in jekyll-website, then pull those changes into <orgname>.github.io and all the project subtrees. This is a little bit of work whenever you need to make changes to the website, but it gets the job done.
Since the Github pages sites are hosted in the gh-pages branch of their respective repos, they are independent from each other and the project pages.
I'm assuming your content will be unique for each repo, so you're asking about syncing the theme/structure etc, which as far as I know that cannot be synced. I would recommend choosing a Jekyll theme for all of your sites and stick to editing content.
