how to publish github pages?

Question

I've created a branch named gh-pages and pushed it to github. The username.github.io/projectname url is 404 however. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your index.html in that branch looks like it is a symlink to the xhtml file. Try just make it a copy instead of a symlink.

I tried this with one of my projects and confirmed that it will not work with a symlink but does work with the content in the index.html file.
