How did you create the site?

Generated from chirpy-starter

Description

Looking at the Getting Started webpage, Step 3 of Creating a Site Repository, is "Name the new repository .github.io, replacing username with your lowercase GitHub username."

But what If I want to create a second chirpy project on the same github account? I can't name it with .github.io since its already been taken. Ultimately, I want to create two separate chirpy projects that use different custom domains.

Operations you have already tried

I tried creating a new repository and naming it something else (repo1 for example). For that repo, I changed the Build and deployment setting to be from Source: Deploy from Branch instead of Github Actions. Then for the branch, I selected gh-pages with root as the directory. However, when this page is deployed, the webpage is only the text "--- layout: home # Index page ---".

Anything else?

All other sites will be yourUsername.github.io/sitename

To get custom names for other sites you need to buy a domain

Thanks! Think I got it to work. If not using a custom domain, then can follow the instructions of the Deployment section of the Getting Starting Page. That is have the url be "https://username.github.io" and have baseurl be "/sitename" in the _config.yml file. If using a custom domain, put the custom domain in the url and leave baseurl blank.
