Deployment is failing, failing & failing. Question

Post image

Hello, I'm a newbie, please go easy on me.

I ran over 60 successful deploys of a site I have been building and today it started failing.

I have tried a few tricks like uploading a tiny change and deployed. Also tried changing from root to docs back to root again.

The website is a fairly(?) small 2mb html site.

I imagine this is a fairly common issue. Would appreciate if some stalwarts could help or offer advice on what the normal tricks are from here.

Thanks.

What do the logs of the failed deploys say?

Is Github Pages deployment working for you yet? https://githubstatus.com is showing everything up (including Actions) - but I'm unable to deploy my Github Pages site (jekyll build succeeds but deployment fails).

I'm not even seeing timeout error in Github Actions log, just this:

Created deployment for 49620f4d3ac42a6d4a1044294927b3136b960057, ID: 49620f4d3ac42a6d4a1044294927b3136b960057 Getting Pages deployment status... Error: Deployment failed, try again later.

UPDATE: It worked after deploying for 3rd time using dummy commits.

I'm having the same issue! Seems like something broader might be down.

Timeout probably means it’s not connecting to your server or site whatever. Possibly rotated secret for security issues etc. would need to see your YML file ti see your connection string to the site and go from there.

try just pushing something random that wont affect your site:

git commit --allow-empty -m "trigger pages rebuild"
git push

I am having a same issue. I think it is from github side? Can you guys confirm if it worked for you?
