"/" baseurl changes to "" when deployed to GitHub Pages about hanuman

[samanyougarg]

Hi

I just tried deploying to Github Pages on a new site. It seems to work fine.

What did you set as your url in _config.yml?

Hi there,

when i set the url as "https://nicholaschuayunzhi.github.io" and base url "/" it works fine locally but when deployed to ghpages, the href of my links don't have "/" prepended.

You can leave the base url as "". It should work on local as well as on Github Pages. Try it and let me know.
Thanks

Hi there!

I tried leaving baseurl as "" and it does not work locally. I've also tried using the "/" as suggested and works locally but does not work when deployed to Github Pages.

I've updated my repository. You can refer to the config file there. The site has also been deployed to gh pages as a user site.

The error arises when i try to use the side bar from my about page. https://nicholaschuayunzhi.github.io/about/

When i click about on the side bar it redirects me to https://nicholaschuayunzhi.github.io/about/about

How are you deploying the site to Github Pages?
I just tried deploying using travis as well as pushing contents of site-pages to the gh-pages branch of the repository and it worked fine.

I'm not too sure what you're asking here sorry - I'm a bit new to this. I'm building from master branch.

I read in the readme that i'm supposed to push the _site folder? but its under the gitignore. Am i doing something wrongly?

I'm not using travis to deploy.

[samanyougarg]

No worries.
If you installed the theme using method 1, you need to push the contents of the destination folder (mentioned in _config.yml. eg - destination: ../hanuman-pages/) to the gh-pages branch(if project page) or master branch(if user page) of your repository.
If you installed the theme using Ruby Gem method, you need to push the contents of _site folder.
I will make the instructions more clear.

Hmm, i tried the first method but i still get the same error.

Here are the steps i did:

1. $ git clone https://github.com/samanyougarg/hanuman.git
2. updated config.yml gist
3. $ bundle exec jekyll build
4. push the destination folder to my repo (/hanuman-pages/) https://github.com/nicholaschuayunzhi/nicholaschuayunzhi.github.io

I still get the same error mentioned in #3 (comment)

EDIT: Want to clarify that it works fine locally.
EDIT2: Added the build step.

It works fine now! Thanks for your patience :)

Would like to add the error i made before was:

1. $ git clone https://github.com/samanyougarg/hanuman.git
2. updated config.yml gist
3. $ bundle exec jekyll build
4. push the cloned repo into my repo
