Baseurl and url config didn't work for jekyll on github

Question

I'm new to jekyll and I'm trying to figure out how to make the config 'baseurl' and 'url' work on github

I set to config like this in _config.xml:

baseurl: /documentation

url: https://michaelpw.github.io/

However, when I open this page https://michaelpw.github.io/documentation/, it displayed the error 404 not found.

Anybody knows what went wrong? I tested on local and everything worked fine.

Currently your site is being deployed to https://michaelpw.github.io/.

To have it at https://michaelpw.github.io/documentation/, you need to move the site to a separate repository named documentation instead of michaelpw.github.io.
