Setup step 3 help: wait for 1st build of site

[rebullm]

Hi- I'm on step 3, and believe I have changed the settings to build/publish from gh-pages, but I am not sure how to trigger the first build to occur.

In your repo's "⚙️ Settings", set GitHub Pages to build/publish from the gh-pages branch. Wait for the first build of your site to complete (~3 minutes, multiple Actions workflows will run).

Thanks,
Meg

I also did step 4, but still don't see a step 5 readme file...

When I go to your repo, it shows me the gh-pages branch, which I think means you set that branch as the default branch for the repo. The default branch should be main.

The GitHub Pages branch should be set to gh-pages. Can you take a screenshot of your Settings -> Pages screen and paste it in a comment here. It should look something like this:

The first build of your site (and also the link in the readme) occur automatically from step 3. I see in your actions no build of the site has happened, and that's probably because you haven't enabled GitHub Pages.

My suspicion is that you set the repo's default branch to gh-pages instead of the Pages build-from branch. Please see the linked instructions in the step:

okay- that was it- I wasn't looking in the correct place for github pages. I've corrected my mistake and made the change. But still don't have a page yet....any ideas?
