https://github.com/roine/p1/tree/gh-pages here is a my github repository on the gh-pages branch. Everything looks good, I have my index.html, my css, js and pictures folders.
But when I access http://roine.github.com/p1 I have a 404 pages.
Any explanation and solution?
Four months ago I have contacted the support and they told me it was a problem on their side, they have temporarily fix it (for the current commit).
Today I tried again
I deleted the gh-pages branch on github
git push origin --delete gh-pages
I deleted the gh-pages branch on local
git branch -D gh-pages
I reinitialized git
git init
I recreated the branch on local
git branch gh-pages
I pushed the gh-pages branch to github
git push origin gh-pages
Works fine, I can finally update my files on the page.
In my case, I had folders whose names started with _ (like _css and _js), which GH Pages ignores as per Jekyll processing rules. If you don't use Jekyll, the workaround is to place a file named .nojekyll in the root directory.
I had just one commit with all my files. I pushed an empty commit, refreshed the page and it worked.
git commit --allow-empty -m "Trigger rebuild" git push I had the same issue after forking a repo with a gh-pages branch. I was able to fix by simply pushing a new commit (just whitespace in index.html) to my fork's gh-pages branch.
My pages also kept 404'ing. Contacted support, and they pointed out that the url is case sensitive; solved my issue.
In my case on 8/Aug/2017
under root, create a index.html file
under root, create a folder docs, inside docs, create a file CNAME (note: NO extension like .txt, make sure your file system shows extension)
gh-pages branch is optional, master branch is enough

I got the site to work by deleting the "username.github.io" folder on my computer going through the steps again, including changing the index/html file.
My mistake (I think) is that i initially cloned "https://github.com/username/username.github.io.git" instead of https://github.com/username/username.github.io (no ".git")
If you saw 404 even everything looks right, try switching https/http.
The original question has the url wrong, usually you can check repo settings and found the correct url for generated site.
However I have everything set up correctly, and the setting page said it's published, then I still saw 404.
Thanks for the comment of @Rohit Suthar (though that comment was to use https), I changed the url to http and it worked, then https worked too.
I bound my domain before this problem appeared. I committed and pushed the branch gh-pages and it solved my problem. New commits force jekyll to rebuild your pages.
In my case, the URL was quite long. So, I guess there is a limit. I put it to my custom subdomain and it worked.
in my case i had to go to project settings and enable the github pages. The default is off
If you are sure that your structure is correct, just push an empty commit or update the index.html file with some space, it works!
