I followed the tutorial to get started with Gitlab Pages based on forking a preconfigured project (GitLab Pages examples / jekyll · GitLab).
- I forked the project
- I checked that Shared Runners is turned on (it was already turned on)
- Navigated to lmichelbacher.gitlab.io/jekyll => 404
- I changed the project name to lmichelbacher.gitlab.io and set the path extension to lmichelbacher.gitlab.io (step 3 here: Websites for your GitLab projects, user account or group | GitLab)
- Navigated to lmichelbacher.gitlab.io => 404
In Pages settings, it says
Your Pages site is not configured yet
even though the project should be preconfigured (because it’s forked from an example).
I also noticed that trying to navigate to a Gitlab Pages site when I’m not logged in leads to an automated check “checking your browser before accessing gitlab.com” and redirects me to a sign-in page. Why would I have to sign in to view a public Gitlab Page?
