I am trying to render my GitHub repo on the Publisher-Subscriber module with JavaScript using GitHub pages. The gh-pages branch looks fine. However, the mustache code does not render on my project on GitHub Pages. It looks like this :

enter image description here

GitHub Repository : https://github.com/ajhalthor/pubsub-application

Github Pages Repo for this project : https://ajhalthor.github.io/pubsub-application/

The GitHub Repository also has the node_modules folder, so it should be self sufficient. Mustache, jQuery & Bootstrap are included in this folder, so there are no external links or CDNs.

Main Question : Why isn't mustache rendering even though all paths are specified relative to the project's main folder?

  • ajhalthor.github.io/pubsub-application/node_modules/mustache/… should give you a hint. Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 5:59
  • better yet use rawgit. Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 6:01
  • To your first comment: It seems like the node_modules folder is not found. But it is a part of my repository. So why isn't this found ? Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 6:10

Github pages uses a version of Jekyll that ignores node_modules folder by default.

According to this blog article. You can do the following:

Create an empty .nojekyll text file in the root of the gh-pages branch.

You can also refer to this announcement by github which talks about the update that is responsible for this behavior.

Thanks! This worked for me. I also tried rawgit and that gave me a url for development & production. According to you, how is that better?
It isn't better, but its an option.
Thanks for the heads up mate
