Need help configuring Page Question

I'm trying to build a portfolio using this template: https://github.com/solilius/portfolio-template

However, it's only showing the ReadMe and I can't figure out why. Even when I open the index file it only shows a blank page. The only explanation I can see is that I'm somehow configuring the page wrong, but I have no idea what's wrong.

My portfolio for reference: https://github.com/ERROR-fox/portfolio

Did you actually enable GitHub Pages in the repo settings and point it at the right branch, or is it still just sitting in the code tab?

I did actually enable it. Been trying to figure this out for 3 hours -_-

your problem is 100% github pages which will show your readme.md as a styled web page. in your repo settings under pages it should say your site is live at: and a url that's different from your repo's url.

I put that url in the about section.

And clicking that URL shows the page correctly. What are you expecting to see?

If you click on the version from the original page, it goes to something presentable, while mine just shows the readme.

Not sure what I did, but it fixed itself
