User pages must be built from master branch

[chekos]

Hi all! I'm super excited for this! I'm writing a quick tutorial on how to get started with fastpages in spanish. As part of that I wanted to start from zero and I created a new github account and used the template to create the blog repo.

However, I cannot seem to change the Source from master to the gh-pages branch. The gh-pages branch is being built and published correctly, I just can't tell GitHub Pages to deploy from that branch instead of master and I get this message:

The repo is paco-el-chato/paco-el-chato.github.io. I didn't have any problems doing this on my personal blog but (I think) that's because it was not deployed at chekos.github.io and it was not a user page.

Does anyone know how I could fix this? or if it's even possible?

Thanks in advance!

@chekos fastpages currently doesn't support user pages, only project pages. So you must name your repo something other than paco-el-chato.github.io, for example name your repo blog.

Hope that helps. closing this issue for now, happy to keep discussing
