I was playing about with my git repo and tried the GitHub pages feature but I'm not sure how to get rid of it. The check box on the repo admin is disabled.

Simply delete the gh-pages remote branch:

$ git push origin :gh-pages

    I'm not sure this answer is complete, now that GitHub pages supports different ways to create GitHub pages (master, /docs, etc.). By disabling GitHub pages in the repo settings (and Ctrl-F5 in my browser), I see the pages are gone. – Fuhrmanator Jan 14 '20 at 15:29
  • How do you disable GitHub pages in the repo settings? I have removed the cname's etc from cloudflare that were pointing to github, and when i go to repo > settings > github pages section, it just says "Your GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the master branch". There doesn't seem to be anyway to delete or disable the github page, it still says "Your site is ready to be published at some-user-name.github.io/some-repo-name." PS The Source section says Branch: master and then /root. – user1063287 Sep 4 '20 at 12:36

    Answer to my own question, not sure if best practise, but I changed Source dropdown value to None and clicked Save and now it says GitHub Pages is currently disabled. Select a source below to enable GitHub Pages for this repository. So I guess that worked. – user1063287 Sep 4 '20 at 12:42
