Fork the repo before cloning your fork.
Set up GitHub pages for your forked repo.
1. In your forked repo, click the Settings tab and scroll down to the GitHub Pages section.
2. Then select the main branch source and click on the Save button.
If you are using your own domain:
1. Set your domain up for GitHub pages.
2. Change the URL in CNAME file to your domain.
If you are using GitHub page's default domain i.e. Something like https://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>/
1. Delete the CNAME file.
2. Change var PATH_SEGMENTS_TO_SKIP = 0; at the top of 404.html to var PATH_SEGMENTS_TO_SKIP = 1;.
  1. This is as GitHub domains have an additional path segment (the repo name) after the host name.
