Cloned GIthub repo not working on my local machine


I wanted to contribute to this repo here: https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist But when I forked and cloned the project on my computer, I found no HTML or CSS files in the master branch. It is located in the gh-pages branch. I tried to clone only the gh-pages branch, but when running the index.html file there, neither the CSS nor the images loaded up. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to somehow merge the branches together? And if so, how.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I have never contributed to open-source before.


Solution

  • The owner hasn't uploaded the index and css files to the repository although they have mentioned how the HTML ad CSS code will work out for the given files in the markdown file . Maybe they did it intentionally or they just don't want to share the source code. Who knows. It is clear that the files are missing.
