Around 12 hours ago, I tried creating a personal blog using 'beautiful jekyll'. I followed the simplest 3-step method to get a basic blog running however, every time I enter my website link, I get
There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.
If you're trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn
how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user
account.
There isn't anything that I did different from the tutorial. I want to know does github just takes long to publish the pages or is there some sorcery ?
As I commented:
github.com/nitinrabbit/yourboygorja.github.io would not work, since yourboygorja is not your GitHub username. nitinrabbit is.
So the repo should be called github.com/nitinrabbit/nitinrabbit.github.io
And some content needs to be pushed to it.
You may need to go to the settings>pages>Source>Main (or subfolders) to activate page root. You may find detailed explanations here.

Is there a way you can see how many people visited your github organization profile?
It's clear that there is a way to look at visitors, clones etc. in individual repos, but is there a way to see how many people visited your organization?
For example, I am part of this https://github.com/CognitiveNeuroLab organization. And while I have the rights to look at everything, I can't seem to find any info on this. Including when I google it, since most people look only at their individual repo's
Thank you all for your time,

I don't think that GitHub is providing this data.
Looking around I only found the solution to include a tracking image into you organization page and everytime someone visits the page, you can count the number of requests made to this image. Similar to how it's done for Marketing E-Mails.
Obviously this is in no way foolproof but there seems to be a relatively active GitHub App around this concept.

I have a repo with README.md as main page. This repo uses mkdocs for generating static site. Also, added Google Analaytics measurement ID to the mkdocs.yml for tracking the traffic on the static site.
But my current requirement is to track the github pages on repo. I am aware of github insights feature where we can get the metrics. But would need more details for every github page.
Can someone help me with this please?
You already use Google Analytics to track your GitHub Pages website, but you want it to track your repo also, right?
In that case, it is not possible, because differently from your website, even if you do own the repo, you do not own it's page, GitHub does. And you probably added some HTML to track your website, but you can't change your repo's HTML. This was already answered here.
Now, if I misunderstood and what you want is to track your GitHub Pages website, then yes, you can.
I want to remove my GitHub profile and repos therein from being found via Google search. Researching how to do this, I see it comes down to three possible methods:
Adding a robots.txt file
Adding meta tag to prevent indexing
Removing URL via Google Webmasters
To my understanding, methods 1 and 2 above won't work for a GitHub account, but only works if you own the root domain.
For method 3, first you have to verify ownership of the specified URL by one of the following means:
HTML file
HTML tag
Google Analytics
Google Tag Manager
Domain name provider
With any of the verification methods mentioned above, I don't see how GitHub supports any of them.
Given these considerations, any ideas on how I can remove my GitHub profile and repos from Google search results?
As long as I know, you can't hide your github account from google.
I also found this answer explaining the same thing.
Also check the GitHub's robots.txt file for more information
I'm trying to create a Facebook App Install campaign. When I create the ad itself, it wont let me specify my Branch link as the deep link. I've used Branch links in other App Install campaigns, so not sure why it's failing now.

Alex from Branch.io here: this is a known issue with Branch links in Facebook ads that comes up sometimes, and we're not even quite sure why or when. There are several workarounds you can try, detailed on this page.
To summarize, rescraping sometimes fixes the issue. This may also indicate that your Branch configuration is missing some required data. As a last resort, you can feed the Branch deep link ID directly into your ad to make sure deep linked behavior still works.
I know that Stack Overflow has a short script like Facebook, LinkedIn etc. to share your account details on your website or your blog. Even if I looked at it on google and stack overflow, I could not find anything like that. Do you know such script for GitHub?
There are also GitHub Buttons.
But these are not created by GitHub itself....
The best available option is the Github badge.
Github unfortunately does not provide their own version of an embeddable badge; you can try requesting one through support.
