Setting cover-card jekyll theme to xxxxx.github.io doesn't work
bungabunga opened this issue ยท 12 comments
I appologise in advance, this is probably not a bug, only my lack of knowledge. it seems that this jekyll theme only works if you set github page like this - bungabunga.github.io/bungabunga, and not like this - bungabunga.github.io. is it possible to somehow make it work the other way, because then the adress is simpler to remember?
thanks!
i think your question is not related to the theme but to the operation of Github Pages
https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/
what makes me think that this is somehow related to the theme is that if i follow the procedure on your link the cover-card site is online and visible for a minute but later it dissapears, it is replaced with all white site with hidden (white on white) text:
username.github.io Just a business card, no blog required!
are you using the gh-pages branch in your Github Pages settings? this should be the default, when forking
thanks, now i have a better understanding of the issue
here is the explanation why it does not work, Github Pages does not allow serving from gh-pages branch if you are on your user page
https://help.github.com/articles/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-github-pages/
of course, we could do a refactoring of cover-card, but this would be a major one in terms of development workflow, because the master branch is occupied with the source code of the gem-based theme
have you considered to get a nice memorable domain name? it should be better than the generic github.io
i'll see about that. great that we now know the reason behind this issue. thanks!
thanks for reporting this, i have filled it as a bug and will keep it as an open issue until it is resolved
besides getting a domain name, another solution is to delete (or rename) your master branch
and then rename your gh-branch
to master
, then it should work according to your specification.
hope this helps!
vow! will try that, thanks.
@bungabunga Renaming your repository to bungabunga.github.io
should solve your issue.
@nickgarlis nope. and that's the reason for this issue.
@nickgarlis no, it does not work because of "bad chemistry" between Github Pages and theme design, see:
