gitHub pages odd behaviors with filename extensions #22612

Behavior: test.md file is returning 404 in subdirectory on github pages. Behavior: test.html shows rendering of test.md. Actual test.html file is ignored. Behavior: test.txt renders test.txt {{ with variables parsed }} inside of _layouts/default.html file and then is converted to source text in the browser similar to view source. https://sflanders95.github.io/EmpireMillenniumChatBlockerChromeExt/docs/test.md (404) https://sflanders95.github.io/EmpireMillenniumChatBlockerChromeExt/docs/test.html (returns test.md & jekyll template, ignores file: test.html in same directory) https://sflanders95.github.io/EmpireMillenniumChatBlockerChromeExt/docs/test.txt (returns test.txt & jekyll template) |

This is all expected behavior based on how Jekyll processes your repository during its build process. It’s not that the I hope that helps! |

It does help thank you. Since that post I’ve modified the environment so that I can run jekyll build and actually see what is being generated in the ./_site/ directory. That directory I believe is hidden on the github pages site so I didn’t previously notice generated static files & structure. I was modifying and pushing w/o building locally. So your response is correct, it works as designed. Building locally also helps partially explain what is happening to ./docs/test.txt - That text file is getting processed with ./_layouts/default.html resulting in ./_site/docs/test.txt (retaining the .txt extension). So when the browser requests /docs/test.txt it is getting back the combined documents as html but served as content-type: text/plain |

test.htmlfile is ignored, it is just overwritten during the build process by the conversion oftest.mdtotest.html.I hope that helps!
