I’m trying to update the url for the Edit Me button (above) on a Jekyll site I’m building, by entering the basepath URL in the config.yml file. I tried using the full URL: https://github.com/[profilename]/[reponame].git And all kinds of combinations of /[profilename]/[reponame] I have published the site using a cname record to <docs.mysitename.com> But every combination produces a 404 error. Any tips or guidance appreciated. |

Hi @texterity, Is your repository public? If so, could you share a link to it so that we can check out the code you’re working with? I think that will help for troubleshooting this. Thanks! |

Actually no - which might be part of the problem, now you mention it! I will create a public version and try and again, and if that doesn’t solve the problem, then I will post it. |

OK I’ve made that repo public at http://docs.texterity.com.au (It’s a copy of the Jekyll Documentation template from the idratherbewriting blog.) There are currently two branches, Master and Review. I had the idea that I could point the Edit Me link to the Review branch. But the desired effect is that, anonymous users (i.e. not signed in to Github) can propose edits. |

Incidentally in the idratherbewriting template the basepath url is tomjoht/documentation-theme-jekyll/blob/gh-pages/ Is the term ‘blob’ required for this expression? |

Answered my own question! Open the repo and branch that you want to be the destination for the edit path, then copy the URL between /yourid and the file name. That becomes the base path for the config.yml. |
