I created a public repo “username.github.io” (with our github username of course) and in its Settings / Pages page, I get this error: Back Story: Initially, I created a repo with the exact capitalization as the github username, i.e. something like UserName…, and then I ran into above error. However, I then read that it needs to be all lowercase. I changed the repo name, but the error was the same. So I changed the name back to UserName…, deleted the repo, and created a new one with the name username… But the problem persists. How can I enable Pages for this repo? |

Thanks a lot! That was exactly that. I wish that "contact your admin" messages would come with "And tell them that in order to fix it, they need to do {insert instructions here}". Oh dear product managers of the world, heed my call! |
