I noticed a typo on http://dblock.github.io/dotnetinstaller/
. Judging by its URL it seems to be a GitHub Pages website, so I thought I would fix the typo via a GitHub pull request.
If I am not mistaken, the HTML for a http://xyz.github.io
website is at https://github.com/xyz/xyz.github.com
so I went to https://github.com/dblock/dblock.github.com .
Surprise: The HTML does not look to be the same at all. There is not even a dotnetinstaller
folder.
What kind of magic is operating here?
Are my assumptions about how GitHub Pages work false?
Best Answer
The correct link is https://github.com/dblock/dotnetinstaller/tree/gh-pages
Your assumption is not false but work only for User or Organisation page not for project page, so github.com/dblock/dblock.github.com is for dblock.github.io and dotnetinstaller (if it's not a folder of a User or Organisation page) is located at github.com/dblock/dotnetinstaller in the
gh-pages
branch.
