Describe your question

I have an organizational repo for which I am trying to publish Github pages. I followed this document. The action fails with the error message mentioned in the title. I am not sure what am I doing wrong here.

Additional context

Your operation will break your content. You can use the gh-pages branch to deploy your site instead of the master branch.

Thanks for the quick response. Of course, I don't want my source code to be overwritten by the generated HTML. Mine is an Organization Type repository. Maybe I am missing something, this example uses master branch in the documentation. Is publishing repository name not automatically derived as <repo>.github.io? Do I need to specify that as an external repo?

You have two ways:

1. Deploy your site from raas-garba/raas-garba to raas-garba/raas-garba.github.io using the external_repository option
2. Move the master branch of raas-garba/raas-garba to another branch of raas-garba/raas-garba.github.io (e.g. source branch)

That fixed it. Thanks!
