GitHub pages are not updating

Solution 1:

None of these solutions solved it for me. The solution was to edit the index.html file in the GitHub website.

The website then updates on the web as expected.

Solution 2:

For others, also check the dates of your posts. I just had this problem. I'm at UTC+11 and I'm pretty sure the server is at UTC. Thus if I date my posts with my local time, the server thinks they are in the future and won't build them. Using UTC avoided this for me.

As mentioned by joao cenoura in the comments below:

• you can tell jekyll to show "future" posts by adding future: true to your _config.yml
• and/or add timezone: TIMEZONE to specify your timezone.

See https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/ for more info.

Solution 3:

Go to your index.html file through your site (example.github.io/index.html) and then reload the page. Then you can go back to (example.github.io) and it should have updated. You can do the same with the master.css file, etc.

If it doesn't work, try reloading (github.com/example/example.github.io/[blob/master/]index.html) instead and it will have updated.

Solution 4:

I had an empty CNAME file. Check that if you're having a similar issue.
