I was able to see all details of activities on GitHub, such as who made a pull request, who put a comment on the pull request, etc. But for some reason, once I navigated out of that page a few days ago, I was never able to get back to such a page and find it again on GitHub.
(The "pulse" doesn't have such info as it is a higher level summary.)
How can the detailed activities page be shown on GitHub?
P.S. with the greatest effort to find it, it turns out the page might simply be https://github.com but it lists all repos that I was involved in previously, instead of just the repo I want to look at. So I wonder if there is a way to see what https://github.com is listing except it is for a particular repo only.
That pretty much sounds like the "Notifications" page. When logged in, click on the "Bell" symbol top right; you'll be taken to
https://github.com/notifications

I have submitted a pull request to an issue. Afterwards, I received an email informing me that I was being assigned to that particular issue. What does this mean and what am I supposed to do? Should I continue to improvise that issue??
These are the general steps you need to take
read carefully your email, see what its title and content is
click on the View on GitHub link, so the page will be opened
look for comments and history on the page
look for further commits that may have been pushed to this branch, if you are not the author, then you will probably need to look into them
if still unclear, reread your code and see what may be the problem
if still unclear, ask the person who assigned it back
I have a problem with publishing a website via GitHub. When I try to follow along a website like this: https://progate.com/docs/github-pages, in the step 5 (Publishing your webpage), I don't manage to see what the author of the tutorial sees in GitHub Pages (this: GitHub Pages) but rather i see this: Pages in my end (and when clicking on "add a domain" I see this pages/add a verified domain). What should I do after uploading my repository in GitHub, to publish a website via GitHub if I see what I see instead of what the tutorial says I should see (when going to Pages in GitHub)?
Could you please help me with this? Thanks.
From what I understand, you are going to the wrong place. It looks like you are going to the "Pages" tab of your profile, not your repository. Make sure you go to your repository first, then go to "Settings", then you will find the "Pages" tab on the right, like this:
I have a Github repository with an associated Github page (say, github.com/user/mypage), and I would like to include the URL to the Github page (say, user.github.io/mypage) in the About section of the repository. When I go to "Edit repository details", the Github page already shows up in the "Website" field and cannot be changed (which is fine) but it is not displayed in the About section. I've tried this with multiple repositories with associated Github pages, and all show the same behavior. Am I overlooking something blatantly obvious, or is it just not possible to include the URL here?
I tried for a week to link my GitHub Page to my GitHub repository. I just figured out how to do it and then found this post. I thought I would go ahead and post my answer. Doing so might be helpful by making this question more visible in future internet search results.
Click on the gear icon in the upper-right of your GitHub repository to the right of the word "About" (shown in the red circle below):
Paste the URL of your GitHub Page into the Website bar in the window that pops up. This Website bar will already contain text that is grayed-out and might match the URL of your actual GitHub Page. That grayed-out text is inactive. Go ahead and paste in the URL of your GitHub Page anyway. Then click Save changes. You are done. Your GitHub Page should now be linked to your GitHub repository.
I made a GitHub account. Ex: github.com/username
I made a repository (for a website) Ex: github.com/username/website
I'm new to GitHub, and initially, I thought the public access link to the website must http://website.github.io, but that doesn't work! All I'm getting is 404 no matter what I try.
I've tried the following examples:
username.github.io
username.github.io/username
username.github.io/website
username.github.io
website.github.io/website
username.github.com/website
but nothing works.
Finally, after an hour's worth of stumbling around, I realized that I would have to change my website's name to https://github.com/username/username so that http://username.github.io will work as the public link, Which I, obviously, don't want. I want http://website.github.io ideally or at least http://username.github.io/website
So, how do I make it work? How do my visitors access my website? Is it even possible to have it my way? If not, then do I have to make a new account for every new project? Won't that just defeat the purpose of a GitHub account?
So, how do I make it work?
https://username.github.io/projectname works for me, where username is of course my user name and projectname is the name of the repository. HTTP would probably be fine, but I checked the box to require HTTPS.
I want http://mywebsite1.github.io ideally
There's a "custom domain name" setting that purports to let you use your own domain, so you could something like http://myproject.mywebsite1.com/.
or at least http://UserName.github.io/mywebsite1
If mywebsite1 is the name of your project, you should be good to go -- that's the same format that worked for me above, except you're allowing http instead of just https.
Am I missing something crucial due to my day-0 newness on github?
It's possible that you've missed a step, or that you've restricted access to the project. It might help to go back to basics: forget everything you think you know and just follow their guide.
To create a website using GitHub pages you need to create an index.html file into any repository (No matter what name your repository is).
Then you need to publish your repository to be able to have your website.
First, go to your repository
Then go to Settings tab
Scroll down until you reach GitHub Pages
Then in source, you need to select your branch, in your case master branch
Then click on save and you are ready to go!!
Your repository will be online at http://username.github.io/yourRepoName
If your repository name is username.github.io your website will be live at http://username.github.io
Also, you need to know that you can only public static websites.

How do you add a "badge" in GitHub README so that it is dynamic? By "badge", I mean
The question is even if one puts a URL in GitHub README which maps to a server returning an svg/png, how does it update automatically on GitHub README page?
As an example if you visit the link
, you'd see the updated status of the issue (which is closed), but my GitHub README page still shows outdated badge, that is, shows the issue being open.
What is an example server code (say in golang) which can render github badges dynamically?
It's just an image at a URL. It's up to the server (your example looks like Jenkins) to decide what image to provide.
