I am using the 'Automatic Generator' of GitHub Pages, and I see it only generates a single index.html and other web resources.
How it works if I want to have a multi-page website generated from other markdown files?
You can get github to generate .html files from .markdown files by ensuring the top of the .markdown starts with the ---- block like this:
---
title: This will be used as the title-tag of the page head
---
hello
=====
**You are here!**
Found this here:
http://xlson.com/2010/11/09/getting-started-with-github-pages.html
Github will automatically create pages for you, if you include the markdown file.
index.html - yourname.github.io/project-name/
about.md - yourname.github.io/project-name/about
foo.md - yourname.github.io/project-name/foo
Tested this and working.
If you want to get into the really fun stuff - you need to get into Jekyll http://jekyllrb.com/
You pull the generated page, make any modification and addition you like (including adding new pages and links between the pages), then commit and push.
The generated single page helps you to make you start. You can duplicate its layout to generate other similar-looking pages by hand.
See Help.
Github Pages uses the Jekyll site generator which suports converting any number of markdown files to HTML for you, and applying the surrounding template via a layout file. See github's documentation on using Jekyll: https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages
The trick is that you have to download a jekyll template/theme and include it in your gh-pages branch on your own (standard jekyll configuration), instead of just allowing Github Pages to auto-generate the one file using its own built-in themes.
GitHub Pages' automatic generator only generates one page.
You can add the new file directly, github page publishes all data (including data inside the subfolders) for you.
Just made gh-pages-generator - the utility to generate site with the navigation from multiple markdown files having links to each other.
"Github pages" hosts web page from index.md / readme.md as main page . However if you have an index.html file then it'll be hosted from html file.However , if you are trying to host a multi page website using "Jekyll themes" then Jekyll theme is not straightaway deployed in subsidiary pages .
Case 1) You are using markdowns to host your pages
index.md -> main page
page1.md -> page 1 of your website
..
so on
To generate a multiple page website using github page just give relative path to the required page without extension i.e.
make a button
Go to next page
And by clicking on this button you will be directed to page1 with jekyll theme deployed

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 tried to setup two repository github pages. Just wondering why one works and the other doesn't.
Works - https://ngaisteve1.github.io/calculator/
Doesn't Work - https://ngaisteve1.github.io/BlackJackJS/
Second question is, is it possible for my to deploy my html with Javascript in GitHub pages or is it GitHub pages is only deploy html page?
Both links work now. GitHub Pages might take a moment to deploy your most recent changes.
You can host any static content, including client-side JavaScript (GitHub Pages will not run any code for you on its back end).
I made a .md file in my GitHub repo. The site automatic added a header with the link to the repo index page. I can't find any way to remove it.The repo name is called school The webpage is on /school/ss/1
Link to the code: Github
What it shows
Follow the "Layouts" instructions as shown on the Primer theme github site to edit website style: https://github.com/pages-themes/primer#layouts
Then, in your _layouts/default.html, remove lines 13-15 which add the title to your page
In their issues, I propose a simpler way to do this: https://github.com/pages-themes/primer/issues/21
I cnamed to my git hub pages. It displayed README.md as default home page.
Now I want to add some hyperlinks to other .md files(such as /blog/list.md). But web browsers can only identify .md files as downloadable files. So web browsers will not display .md files as web pages.
how to solve this problem?
In fact, I can put some HTML pages that hyperlinks to. But Markdown page saves a great amount of time at all.
You want to write in Markdown and server as regular HTML content, so try to use static site generator like Jekyll providing by GitHub Pages.
You can find instructions at GitHub Help, then add more Markdown pages and Jekyll will silently translate another-page.md to another-page.html for you.
I have a javascript and html snake game and I want to host it on github I do All the steps and make a gh-pages But I get this error 404 File not found ?when I search Username.github.io/repository-name
Any idea why and how I can fix it? Should I wait for github email After I do the commands??
Most web servers have a "default" page, e.g. index.html, that will be shown when the user doesn't request a particular page. GitHub Pages is no different.
Your repository contains a single file called snakeGame.html, which works just fine if you request it. Unfortunately, GitHub Pages doesn't know that this page should be shown by default. As far as it knows that file has no special meaning.
To get your page to show up at http://peggykh.github.io/Snake/ instead of http://peggykh.github.io/Snake/snakeGame.html, you should rename your file to index.html.
