Thanks @wgpubs! I was trying that too! Hey @hamelsmu, I was wondering: is it possible to have <github_username>.github.io as homepage instead of <github_username>.github.io/xxx. I am using fastpages. On fast_template I think that was possible.
UPDATE: Just found the answer 
It’s here: [fastpages] Replacing main <username>.github.io Page w/ FastPages?
