How to connect a file from a folder in a different branch?

So im trying to link the css from my home folder, and my favicon to one of my pages in a different branch/folder, but it isnt working.

my code

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>TheAlphaLeopard</title>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="../home/imgs/favicon.ico"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../home/styles.css" />
</head>

My Repo

I tried using the ../ before my code, but it isnt linking the files corectly.

Solution

  • You need to move up two levels, since your html file path is

    THEALPHA.../app/chess/index.html and your css file is in th folder

    THEAPHA.../home/styles.css

    <link rel="stylehseet" type="text/css" href="../../home/styles.css">

    Try to figure out, in which index.html file you are really working before you start.

    proTip: Don't mix up branch and folder in IT.
