How to I create a github pages site at the home directory?

Question

Does anyone know how setup a github pages site at your home directory so that instead of username.github.io/repo_name it would be username.github.io? Thanks!

To publish a user site, you must create a repository owned by your user account that's named username.github.io.

That is, the full URL of your repository must be https://github.com/username/username.github.io.
