Hello!

I am facing an issue with my personal website hosted on GitHub Pages. When I visit my GitHub Pages link (https://yararajjoub.github.io/My_Portfolio/), I only see the README content instead of the actual website content.

The main HTML file is named index.html, and it is located in the root directory of my repository. I have selected Main/root from Pages.

Could you help me with that?

Hi @yararajjoub,

I've taken a look at your commit history and noticed that you created a static.yaml workflow and then reverted that change afterwards. First, on your repo settings, change build and deploy source from workflow to branch, then select /(root).

GitHub pages looks for index.html at the root directory, and if it can't find it, it will look for index.md or in your case README.md.

Root directory, meaning, having a folder structure like:

images
 |- ...
index.html
style.css
README.md

and not:

You can read more at GitHub Pages docs: Creating your site.
