Hi

I created a github pages site using the Jekyll modernist theme and it works OK locally when tested using Jekyll. It has index.md in the root and is deployed from the root of the main branch. Yet when github deploys it, I get a 404. I tried adding a nojekyll file and it makes no difference. I have read the docs but not got anywhere. Any help appreciated and my apologies if I overlooked something simple.

Hi @99zardoz ,

By default GitHub Pages will look for an index.html, index.md, or README.md file as the entry file for your site, as I can see from your screenshot, you have a file named Index.md, rename it to index.md; that's important because GitHub Pages is case sensitive so you should always name your index files in lower case.

Thank you very much for your help. In my local folder, it was index.md lower case i. I had to rename it in github directly and that worked. Much appreciate you taking the time to help.
