I forgot to mention one thing. Make sure to use ur username as the repo name. It should be
Yourusername.github.io

And anyone who is having a 404 error do this

404 means that the file could not be found. To solve this make sure the mainpage is named as index.html and also check if the index.html file is in the root directory and not in any sub folder.

So if u have only one project in ur repo then make sure that the index file is in
yourusername.github.io and not in


If u have multiple projects in ur repo then access it by adding the subfolder name in the URL along with the repo name, like this

Changing the main folder name to index just ended my 2 weeks of trying to publish my website. Thanks a million

Wow, this is pretty much what was looking for. I'm learning github, but wondered if I could display my static website projects on the platform.
Thank you!

EDIT: Well, after struggling for a few hours and getting '404' errors, I finally got my first page up, and now I can put all my projects up and work on others to put up as I learn more programming. I was determined to get this today and its' 11:15 at night and 'finally' I've made it thanks to your video. You've earned a subscription.
