Hey All at GitHub Community I have seen many people using GitHub Pages and their overall URL is in this form - But when I tried for the same, My URL is coming out to be as - So, I wanted to know how I can also get a URL like that which makes it is easier for people to visit my website instead of writing long URLs? Also, if it does matters for this problem, the repository is under an organization account. Thank You and Waiting for a quick and ideal solution! |

Hello @AnimishY,
To create a page for an organization, you need to create a repo named
<organization>.github.iounder that account.<organization>should be the name of your organization. This also works the same for user sites, however,<organization>should be your GitHub username and the repo needs to be created under your user account.See Types of GitHub Pages sites for more information.
