getting 404 github pages after forking the repo

[0xbs0d]

Not sure if I have to configure or add the url after just forking the repo. It works fine offline but on gh pages it displays a 404.

Did you edit the CNAME file (if you are using a custom domain), or remove it (if you are not using a custom domain)?

If you drop a link to your fork I'd be happy to take a look.

Nevermind, I found your fork. Just delete the CNAME file and you should be good.

Also you'll probably want to rename your fork's description and repo link to your URL.

hm... still nothing. deleted the CNAME (silly me) and changed my links in the _config.yml and the description but nothing happened. that should have triggered a rebuild of jekyll afaik.

Well CNAME stuff will take some time to propagate through our DNS servers and CDN, so maybe try again in an hour and lemme know if it's still not working.

Just looked at your repo again. You need to move the code to master. You only use a gh-pages branch if your are on a repo that is not named after a user page (i.e. my-project uses a gh-pages branch, but username.github.io uses master branch). Docs on that here.
