Are github pages within my account created automatically when I fork a repo which already includes gh-pages branch?

A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
Under your repository name, click Settings. In the "Code and automation" section of the sidebar, click Pages. To see your published site, under "GitHub Pages", click your site's URL.
Forking creates a full copy of your repository, whereas branching only adds a branch to your exiting tree. The file size of branch can vary depending on the branch that you are on. Under the hood git readily accesses the different files and commits depending on what branch you are using.
Deployment on GitHub PagesDeploying to GitHub Pages is automatic. Once it's set up, deploying happens whenever you push your local changes to your remote, GitHub-hosted repository. Head to GitHub Pages' setup instructions and follow the steps exactly to get your main GitHub Pages page setup.
There needs to be at least one push to trigger a page build so by doing a git push origin master, I got the page to rebuild.
