Git Hub Pages not Deploying. (404)

Question

I am new to web-development. I am trying to just start off by deploying my 1 page website just to sort of see how it works.

I followed all of the steps that I saw on a tutorial and I just get a 404. (file not found) https://juteland.github.io

Here is my repo. https://github.com/Juteland/juteland.github.io

If someone is good at this and can tell me what I am doing wrong that would be great!

Thanks!

Sorry, this might sound really bad, but what does that mean. I don't have a package.json in my repo? — whatland, Jan 31 '19 at 05:02

Try this:

https://juteland.github.io/Documents/WebDev%20/IsomodularWebsite/

You have page on above link. You don't have index.html page on that directory. Hence it is showing 404 not found.

There are two directories inside juteland.github.io as per your github link:

Desktop/IsomodularWebsite
Documents/WebDev /IsomodularWebsite

As I am able to see both the directories contain the same number of files and both are duplicates.

Try the following steps:

You delete one of them. (Let's say you delete Documents/WebDev /IsomodularWebsite)
Move all files of Desktop/IsomodularWebsite inside juteland.github.io directly and then delete Desktop/IsomodularWebsite also.

It is really 404, because you don't have index.html or index.htm or something that is specified as the entry point as a webpage in your repository root.

Your webpage is there, https://juteland.github.io/Documents/WebDev%20/IsomodularWebsite, with "strange" long URL.

Why do you put your web page inside such a long and meaningless folders?

I do not know. Sorry, I am just really new to this. How do I change what the site URL is? – whatland Jan 31 '19 at 05:07
@BrendanGainer no issue. It happens. See index.html or index.htm is considered as the entry point of any webpage. So you should keep your index.html page in the root directory only instead of Documents/WebDev directory. – Nitin Bisht Jan 31 '19 at 05:45
@BrendanGainer wait a while. I am posting an answer that will help you in this regard. – Nitin Bisht Jan 31 '19 at 05:46
@BrendanGainer Move all things to the repository's root directory. – Geno Chen Jan 31 '19 at 10:31
