Use other than index.html for Github pages

Question

I have recently started using github pages and so far I am using the default index.html as my main page. How do I use another page as my default page? For example if in my gh-pages branch I have my html in a folder src/. How do I set ./src/index.html as my default instead of ./index.html?

Answer 1

Create dummy index.html and put this in the header

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://mysite.github.io/folder/index.html" />

Change http://mysite.github.io/folder/index.html to your desired url.
