I know this question has been asked several times before, but none of the answers given seem to fix my problem. I followed the documentation (or at least, I believe I did, as I read through it several times), but I seem to be missing something: What have I got:
This is my current GitHub Pages settings tab: What I haven’t got:
There must be something I am forgetting, but I feel that I followed the documentation to the letter. Can anyone point out my mistake? |

Absolutely. The following link does not serve the index.html as you would expect: It think this proves the repository is not published on github.io. |

The answer is to add Jekyll theme. You do this on the settings tab of the repository of your github pages site. The official documentation from Github on this page https://pages.github.com/ is missing this vital step. |

I added the jekyll theme as well but still had the same issue with just the readme.md being published only. Anyone have any updates as to what they did differently to get the website running? |

Once you have added a theme you have to add index.html like I did for this project, https://maryallie2006.github.io/TowerSiege/index.html |
