Hello I have tried to deploy a web-portfolio on gh pages and encountered and error. I have tried multiple solutions but can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes? I would really appreciate it.

Github repository link to my code

Your index.html uses absolute links starting with /2-GO/web-portfolio/, when your site is deployed at /web-portfolio/. The best solution would be to use relative paths, but fixing the absolute ones should work, too.

Hey [airtower-luna], when I inspect the website I can see the links starting with "/2-GO/web-portfolio/". Also, I read the post you attached and understand the difference between absolute and relative links ,but I cant seem to find where to apply this fix within my document files. Can you please elaborate a little more? I would really appreciate it.

Your page gets deployed to https://2-go.github.io/web-portfolio/, because the repository is named web-portfolio. So for example the favicon.ico will end up at https://2-go.github.io/web-portfolio/favicon.ico.

But your index.html has (hard to link directly, because it lacks proper line breaks 🙁):

<link rel="icon" href="/2-GO/web-portfolio/favicon.ico"/>

/2-GO/ and everything underneath simply doesn't exist on the server. Best would be to use a relative link (in the example: href="favicon.ico"), or alternatively fix the absolute path.

Thank you for your time @airtower-luna I got the website to finally show up, not as intended but I just took a step in the right direction. You helped me publish my first web-portfolio (although unfinished atm) I really appreciate you.
