You can do this via two ways, by using the terminal or the GitHub web interface. Using the terminal: 1.) Clone your repository that you website is hosted on. 2.) cd "repositoryname" 3.) git mv "directoryname" "newdirectoryname" 4.) git add . 5.) git commit -m "message" 6.) git push This is the easiest way, by using the terminal. Click here for a video of me doing this using the terminal. However, if you want to do it using the web interface, you can achieve the same results, but it requires more time and it is very tedious if there is a lot of files in that directory. You just have to open every single file in that directory, go to the first letter of the file name and backspace. This should remove that "/" from the path, and you will have to rename every single file's directory like that. Here is a video if you need help.

To make a new url path, you can just simply make a folder in the repository that your page is using. To do that, you should: 1.) Go to your repository, 2.) Click the "Create new file" button, 3.) For the file name, you should type "path/index.html," in your case, "thankyou/index.html", and use that folder created for other files as well. I tried your contact form, and it seems like you got it figured it out.

It looks fine to me, from the computer and from my phone(I have an iPhone as well). Perhaps you refreshed it too quickly after you just changed the name of the repository? Sometimes, it takes a while to update.

Hi, When I went onto the link you provided and refreshed multiple times(https://wesleytian.github.io), it works and does not give a 404 error! As for your question, it usually takes no more than 24 hours, and normally, it'll take less than an hour. When I first set up my custom domain for my GitHub Pages, it took no more than 5 minutes for my .github.io link to be connected with my custom domain. If it still doesn't work on your browser, you may need to clear cache and delete cookies on your browser, or try to go to the link on another browser/device, then it should appear normally.

Hi @python8u. This is quite simple. You can achieve this in two ways. 1.) Simply create a folder inside of the repository that you use for you root domain. Example below. As you can see, inside my root domain repository, I have another folder named “contact” and if you go to https://yangciou.github.io/contact or https://yangciou.com/contact , it’ll use the code inside that “contact” folder. 2.) Another approach to this is simply by creating a new repository, named whatever you want the path to be(qwerty.com/path). After you create a repository with the path’s desired name, you have to go to “Settings” then to find “GitHub Pages” then select the “Source” as what you selected as source in your root domain repository. Then, after pressing “Save,” it should work! Example: I want https://qwerty.com/test, then I would create a repository named “test” and activate GitHub Pages under settings using the instructions above.

Hey , Your site is running when I clicked on the link you provided. It’s just a “Site under construction” Page, which is the code in your repository, so nothing’s wrong! I think the reason you’re having trouble viewing this is because of your browser. You may need to clear cookies and cache of your browser for it to load. Also, you indeed don’t need to set up jekyll for GitHub pages to work, an index.html is all you need!

From my browser, https://kove-w-o-salter.github.io/Cyp works fine. I’m not sure why your browser doesn’t work, but I think it didn’t update yet, so you might have to clear cookies and cache or try a new browser.

Hi, Since your main repository is already name.github.io, then the other repositories does not need that in the title. Instead, you only need what you want after the / in your web address. So if you want yourname.github.io/hangman, then the repository name has to be “hangman”. Looking at your account, you already created a repository with the name “hangman” with the same code as the repository you linked in this post. I also tried going to the url, and the reason it might not work is because in the “hangman” repository, most likely, you do not have github pages activated. To do this, you simply have to go to the “Settings” tab of your “hangman” repository, and find GitHub Pages. Then make the source to “master” or “gh-pages”, whichever one you used in karenLee7.github.io repository. Then it should work.

Hi, When I first started using GitHub pages, I also had the same experience. It is not GitHub’s fault, instead it is your browser. The solution to this is by going to your browser settings and reset cache and cookies. This should work. Another way of doing this is by using Git. You make your changes on your local desktop, and see what the website looks like by opening index.html . Then you can git push it to github and be rest assured that it will be like what you saw in your local desktop.

Hi, Although I do not know the reason that this happens, I have experienced it myself, and through research. I have found a fix to it. I’m not sure what domain registrar you bought your domain from, but it doesn’t really matter. I got mine from Google Domains. I found a really good site, called Cloudflare(cloudflare.com). It is even better than Google’s name servers. I suggest you use their service, as they provide really fast stuff for free and they can fix the issue. Basically, I changed my Google domain name severs(DNS) from Google’s to Cloudflare’s, so I could control my domain from Cloudflare now. In Cloudflare, there is a section called “Page Rules,” where you can make rules such as redirects. From there, I made a page rule that said that any address with *www.yourdomain.com/* will be redirected to https://yourdomain.com/$2 . * is a wildcard character, so anything before www will be redirected to https://yourdomain.com/$2 . The $2 means anything after the / will replace $2. I have attached a picture with my example as well for you to use. Sorry for the long explanation, I’m bad at explain things.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to automatically redirect uppercase urls to lowercase urls. In the repositories I use for GitHub Pages, the title of the are always lowercase, therefore the URLS are lowercase. If someone enters the URL with capital letters, it'll just go to a 404 error page. Example : https://yangciou.com/birthday will load but, https://yangciou.com/Birthday will show a 404 error page. Anyway to redirect uppercase urls?

Yeah, that was the problem. Thank you, I fixed it now. It wasn't clear, because it said Click the "Files Changed" tab in this pull request Click on the pencil icon on the right side of the screen Add the following content to the top of your blog post: so I assumed to click the pencil for the first file, not the second. There is also a bug, the date is bolded for some reason as shown in the picture, and the bot doesn't consider that right, but when I put a line in between, the bold is gone and it works again.

Hello. I was wondering how you could be able to bold the title of a page. I saw this person's website @ https://zevoidah.github.io/ I looked at the code, but it shows that <title> 𝐙𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐡 </title> How do you get the bolded text?

Hello. I am currently on the "Add Front Matter" activity, however, it does not work. For some reason, even although I do have ---
title : " Your blog post title "
date : YYYY-MM-DD
--- it says that I don't. Pictures are attached.
