Getting started with GitHub Pages

You can use GitHub Pages to host a website about yourself, your organization, or your project directly from a repository on GitHub.

You can create a GitHub Pages site in a new or existing repository.

You can take advantage of using GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages by creating a workflow file or choosing from the predefined workflows.

You can configure your GitHub Pages site to publish when changes are pushed to a specific branch, or you can write a GitHub Actions workflow to publish your site.

You can delete a GitHub Pages site.

You can unpublish your GitHub Pages site so that your current deployment is removed and the site is no longer available. This is different from deleting the site.

You can display a custom 404 error page when people try to access nonexistent pages on your site.

This guide will help you troubleshoot common reasons you may be seeing a 404 error.
