cannot publish my github page at the correct address

I am trying to set up my personal page on Github.

However, my page is only published at: https://xuxy09.github.io/xuxy09/, while the desired address is https://xuxy09.github.io.

Could you please let me know how to fix this?

Solution

  • Issue addressed. The repository name should be "xuxy09.github.io" instead of "xuxy09".

    That is described in "Types of GitHub Pages sites"

    • To publish a user site, you must create a repository owned by your user account that's named <username>.github.io.
    • Unless you're using a custom domain, project sites are available at http(s)://<username>.github.io/<repository>

    In your case, a repo named xuxy09 is a Project site.
    While xuxy09.github.io would be, indeed, a User site.
