I was publishing user pages with GitHub pages. After renaming my repository from username.github.io to username.github.io__, and renaming back my repo to username.github.io my pages are not showing up anymore.
The purpose of renaming my repo was to unpublish my pages for a short period of time.
Can someone give me a solution to republish my pages?
It was just needed to update with empty commit :
git commit -m 'rebuild pages' --allow-empty
git push
While an extra commit solves the problem, you should note a few things.
First, to fix the issue, push a new commit.
git commit --allow-empty -m "Empty commit"
git push
Second, make sure that the branch you committed is the master branch. For example, in my case, I make changes to the develop branch, and then I had to merge develop to master so that the actual page gets built again.

I have the following website hosted on GitHub Pages. This is the GitHub repository. I have two branches: main and gh-pages. Whenever I push a commit on main I need to keep gh-pages in sync using the following commands:
git checkout gh-pages
git rebase main
git push origin gh-pages
git checkout main
Now I would like to avoid this waste of time with every commit. I searched different websites for a solution and I found, for example, this:
It suggests only keeping the gh-pages branch and removing the main one. At the end of the article, there is this text:
Update:
This approach is no longer necessary, now that Github lets you use
master, or a /docs folder for github-pages.
Does anyone know how I can use the main directly in GitHub Pages?
I changed one file in my project, LoginLogout.cpp. What should I be pushing if all I changed was LoginLogout.cpp? Do I need to re-push the solution also?
If all you changed is LoginLogout.cpp, then you only need to add that file to your new commit by doing git add LoginLogout.cpp. This will only add that file to your staging area, which you can then commit with git commit -m "changed LoginLogout.cpp" for example.
After that you just need to push this commit to your repo with git push which uploads all local branch commits to the corresponding remote branch.
I have only ever used git add . for this project, but somewhere along the line I started getting the strange "modified content, untracked content" error on one of my subdirectories (called users). Other stackoverflow answers didn't work for me. I used checkout to go back through previous commits, but the buggy/untracked subdirectory didn't change with the rest of the directory. I ended up making manual changes to it and then running git checkout master to make sure everything else was back where it started.
Git is saying that I'm bisecting, and it won't let me commit. I looked over stackoverflow answers, and tried some of the following commands:
git pull:
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
git pull origin master:
fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master:
error: the requested upstream branch 'origin/master' does not exist
hint:
hint: If you are planning on basing your work on an upstream
hint: branch that already exists at the remote, you may need to
hint: run "git fetch" to retrieve it.
hint:
hint: If you are planning to push out a new local branch that
hint: will track its remote counterpart, you may want to use
hint: "git push -u" to set the upstream config as you push.
git pull --rebase:
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to rebase against.
Apologies if these commands are all over the place. I intend to really learn how git works soon, but right now I just want to commit the changes so I can deploy my project.
UPDATE: I used git bisect reset, created a new branch out of my detached head, and then merged with the master. This kept the changes I made, so now I just need to figure out how to get users tracked again in my commits. git add users still isn't doing anything.
I need some help because I have some codes that I pulled from my repository branch and changed a couple of things in it.
What I need is to push it into another repository that I have been a collaborator in.
Been trying to push the codes, and trying to access it but to no avail.
Can anybody help me with this one? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You have two different repositories where you manage to code. First one from where you clone/pull code and made some changes. Second one is what, where you want to push your latest code.
If you clone your repository from GIT then It automatically attach its GIT Url into your application. To check run this command
git remote -v
Result:
origin https://username#github.com/project-name.git (fetch)
origin https://username#github.com/project-name.git (push)
This is url from where you clone/pull your latest code. Now we have created alias of URL as ORIGIN.
so when ever you want to push your code, you will do
git push origin master
Now Add another GIT URL(remote) where you want to push your latest code.
git remote add origin_two https://username-two#github.com/project-name.git
So now commit your changes and made a pull request from your secondary GIT URL this way.
git pull origin_two master
If you got any conflicts then make corrections in code and then again add untracked files using
git add file-name
add a commit message
git commit -m "Your message"
and push your code to git
git push origin_two master
If you are working with branches:
You have two repositories now for a single application. So for that each repo has their own branches, to list down branches for each origin just follow
git branch -a
will list all the branches from two remotes. now If you really want to push on any other branch then you should commit all the changes on current branch an then move to your favorable branch using command
git branch branch-name
and do code here whatever code you will change now push to particular branch
git push origin_two branch-name
That's it :) Hope this can help you.
I'm new to GitHub and have gotten myself into a tangle. I've been successfully deploying code to a Heroku / Django app. However, my last commit was unsuccessful. This is my flow...
- Git add .
- Git commit -m "social media icons"
- Git push heroku master
The last command returns....
Fetching repository, done.
Everything up-to-date
Everything is not up to date. One thing I've discovered on my GitHub app is that I have 2 branches "production" and "master". Master was last updated Sept 8th. I've run a few commands including "git pull origin master" and "git push -f" based on other Stack answers. The latter did seem to push something but not the changes in local. Sorry, I'm trying to find my feet here!
If you're on production branch then you will need to do
git push heroku production:master
Heroku will only deploy the master branch so this command is you pushing your local production branch into the master branch on the remote.
So you are on branch production but your other branch master is up to date. If you want to push the current branch you are on, you should explicitly say so: git push heroku production.
I would highly advise you to try git, it's an excellent resource.
