How to access auto-generated github page?

Question

I have auto-generated a github page according to the instructions here. Now I have a new branch called gh-pages.

I don't really get the next step, can I host the generated page on github ? or do I need to deploy it on my own web server ? Do I need to merge the page branch with my master branch ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Found the answer here. To access the page go to username.github.com/projectname. Any change you make to the gh-pages branch will be reflected there.

There is also a link published in a repo's Settings > Github Pages. – Towle

username.github.com/projectname is deprecated, now is using .io : username.github.io/projectname – Launderette

Answer 2

Your page will not be available until the full build process has finished. You can view this process via the 'Action' tab.
