Github Pages

Conflicting Endpoints

There is an interesting problem, a github user can serve github pages per repository. Like I have a repository ubuntu_setup, I can access its github page by https://plae-tljg.github.io/ubuntu_setup/.

But a github user can also have personal page by creating personal repository, liek for me plae-tljg, I can make a repository called plae-tljg.github.io, which its deployed page can be access with plae-tljg.github.io. We can call it a personal repo.

Now what if you create an endpoint under your personal repo of same name as your other repository which has deployed pages, like ubuntu_setup?

Let's experiment.

Localhost Appearance

I created the experiment at d1c20f6f3eeab0f9cd167f21155015d87e1c7e2e commit of my personal repo.

npm run dev at localhost show following pages, which actually has different pages on endpoint with slash (http://localhost:5173/ubuntu_setup) and without slash (http://localhost:5173/ubuntu_setup/).

Github Page Deployment

Now using the script to deploy to github page, we can see following:

Note that the page of without slash https://plae-tljg.github.io/ubuntu_setup cannot be visited unless you click button from homepage of personal repo github page. If dont do that, you will be redirected to https://plae-tljg.github.io/ubuntu_setup/, which is just following:

so you can see that teh page of https://plae-tljg.github.io/ubuntu_setup/ is actually the github page for the other repository ubuntu_setup.
