I followed the instructions at pages.github.com to create a user name repository. Then I used the github repository settings to choose a Jekyll theme.
At some point I was prompted to generate a README.md file, however no index.html was added to the repository.
If I create index.html then the problem disapears, but I am wondering why readme.md displays like this
I created the readme.md using the Jekyll modernist theme. Later I changed to the tactile theme but this did not change the title.
The first actual line of my readme.md is
Welcome to GitHub Pages
You are requesting a file served over HTTP while your website (GitHub pages) is using HTTPS. This is not allowed by browsers for security purposes. Because of that, the yui CSS file is not loaded, and your layout breaks.
To summer up, if your repository does not have an Index. html it will show the ReadMe file. Thus in order to correct it all you need to do is add an index. html or index.md file to your folder and use that as main.
Publishing from a branch On GitHub, navigate to your site's repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. In the "Code and automation" section of the sidebar, click Pages. Under "Build and deployment", under "Source", select Deploy from a branch.
Edit _config.yml
and add title and description you would like to have instead of the default repository name.
e.g.:
title: Kirsten Greed
description: Cognitive Load
