Try setting "homepage": "http://alisliim.github.io/Eurikso-Mobility-Academy"
because "homepage" means site URL and not repository URL.
from GitHub Docs:
The source files for a project site are stored in the same repository as their project. Unless you're using a custom domain, project sites are available at
http(s)://<user>.github.io/<repository>orhttp(s)://<organization>.github.io/<repository>.

could you explain why that works? this is better off as a comment rather than an answer
TRY THE FOLLOWING STEPS
- create a new github Repository
- Inititialize git in your project folder by running command "git init"
- create a .gitignore file and add your npm modules in it
- run command
git add - run command
git commit -m "added files" - run command
git remote add origin [email protected]:username/new_repo - run command
git push - By that all your files would have been uploaded successfully on github then you can decide to host it using heroku or any other hosting platform
If you have any issues on it, please let me know

i did not understand the 3rd step can you please repeat what do you mean and how and where should i find these npm files and where i should create this .gitignore file ? thank you
coderboy
in your project directory, run the command "touch .gitignore" with no extensions
coderboy
and then this as three different lines in it 1. .node_modules 2. node_modules/
