Hello I found a recurring error when I try to deploy to my user type repository.

Stack trace:

I think I've followed the guide correctly, but maybe I'm missing something.

blog/.gitmodules at master · asurbernardo/blog

Your asurbernardo/blog includes public as a submodule. It should be removed from your blog repo.

[peaceiris]

BTW, your blog repo and github.io repo are public repositories. How about merging blog repo into the github.io repo? The following repositories are good references for you.

• jrhizor/jrhizor.github.io

Thank you so much @peaceiris, I had to restructure the project, the submodule was exactly the reason why it was failing.

I have my blog repository public because I'm documenting its own evolution, I know I could merge them, maybe in the future I will change my mind, but for now I will keep the like that :)
