How to fix "error `/' not found" error about jekyll in localhost:4000

Question

When I run jekyll serve, I open the site localhost:4000 in the browser. Partial pages shows 404. And the serve indicates the error "error `/' not found" .
But when open the site use 'https://username.github.io', it's just be all normal.
It's completely confused.

You need to change the param "baseurl" in your "_config.yml" to a path where you expect your site to be served or comment the line of "baseurl" to allow '/' to used instead.
