I'm hosting a github page and want to link index.html to main.css, which is in a folder called "stylesheets" also in the root directory.
my file structure:
index.html
stylesheets
- main.css
right now I have:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/main.css" />
in the <head>, but this doesn't work?
First, you should create gh-pages branch that special branch of GitHub.
You can find and create it in setting page of you project by the button Automatic page generator.
The branch will map to the doamin http://username.github.io/project/
So the path should be stylesheets/main.css not /stylesheets/main.css
gh-pages branch, but these days it's not essential. Most likely just put their website in the /docs directory.if it not project pages.. "mean" you are Creating a repo youruser.github.io (index of username.github.io) not atuo genereate gh-pages because its use template
its simply by doing:
commit & push it
/style -> you are on root directory
style/ -> you are on currrent directory
./style --> more safe to navigate current directory
wait 5 minutes ... and cheers!
Try removing the front '/' from /stylesheet, so that it loads up relative to the current route: stylesheet/...
