"There isn't a GitHub Pages site here."

Question

Around 12 hours ago, I tried creating a personal blog using 'beautiful jekyll'. I followed the simplest 3-step method to get a basic blog running however, every time I enter my website link, I get

There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.

If you're trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user account.

There isn't anything that I did different from the tutorial. I want to know does github just takes long to publish the pages or is there some sorcery ?

Is your repo named after your GitHub username account? <username>.github.io – Tripoli

Please tell us where your repo is and what url you tried. – Goodish

@JoostS: Here is the url to my repo is here. The url to my blog. – Smoothbore

@VonC: Yes it is named the same. – Smoothbore

github.com/nitinrabbit/yourboygorja.github.io would not work, since yourboygorja is not your GitHub username. nitinrabbit is. So the repo should be called github.com/nitinrabbit/nitinrabbit.github.io – Tripoli

@VonC: Blunder accepted, thanks a lot ! – Smoothbore

OK I will post an answer later today. – Tripoli

Answer 1

As I commented:

github.com/nitinrabbit/yourboygorja.github.io would not work, since yourboygorja is not your GitHub username. nitinrabbit is.

So the repo should be called github.com/nitinrabbit/nitinrabbit.github.io

And some content needs to be pushed to it.

while mine is already correct which gave me a deeper confusion right now – Hl

You may need to go to the settings>pages>Source>Main (or subfolders) to activate page root. You may find detailed explanations here.
