I am attempting to publish a website using github pages. I have a Index.HTML, and see the message "Your site is published at https://starsweeper.github.io/" in the repository settings, but when I go to the page I see the message

404 File not found
The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file.

Here is the repository: https://github.com/starSweeper/starSweeper.github.io What am I doing wrong?

    You appear to have resolved this issue? It's unclear whether this was just formatting in your post, but Index.HTML should be all lowercase. ie. index.html.

    Yes, that was the issue, I didn't realize the file names were also case sensitive.

It seems the problem was the incorrect casing of Index.HTML. This should be all lowercase. ie. index.html.

I didn't realize the file names were also case sensitive.

The case-sensitivity, in this case, is dependent on the underlying operating system. Linux/unix is case-sensitive, Windows is not. But URLs are always case-sensitive.
