how to create a github.io

Assistant: Boss, here’s the clean, no-fluff roadmap to get your GitHub Pages site github.io live.[edit | edit source]

Boss, here’s the clean, no-fluff roadmap to get your GitHub Pages site (github.io) live. Think of this as spinning up your personal micro-website or project portal—fast, free, and perfect for showcasing your XR prototypes, docs, or your metaverse brand.

(Simple, clear, and beginner-friendly)[edit | edit source]

If you already have one, you’re good.[edit | edit source]

If not: 👉 Go to github.com → Sign up → Confirm your email.

This is where most people mess up.[edit | edit source]

Your repo must be named exactly like this:

Example:[edit | edit source]

If your GitHub username is bossleo, your repo should be: ➡️ bossleo.github.io

Steps:

Hit New Repository
Name it yourusername.github.io
Keep it Public
Click Create Repository

You only need one file to start:[edit | edit source]

This is your home page.[edit | edit source]

####[edit | edit source]

Click Add file
Click Create new file
Name it index.html
Add starter code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Welcome to My Site</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello from Leo 👑✨</h1>
    <p>This is my GitHub Pages site.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Scroll down → Commit changes

1. Click Add file → Upload files[edit | edit source]

Upload your project folder (HTML, CSS, JS, images)

Once the repo is created + files added, GitHub instantly deploys.[edit | edit source]

Visit your site at:

If it doesn’t load yet, give it 1–3 minutes.[edit | edit source]

Boss, once you have the basics, here’s how you level up:[edit | edit source]

You can connect:[edit | edit source]

thediamondresilience.com
leoverse.io
anything you own

GitHub has built-in Jekyll themes that make your site look clean and professional.[edit | edit source]

Add pages like:[edit | edit source]

/projects
/xr-worlds
/portfolio
/apps
/about

1. Repo → Your folder[edit | edit source]

Branch → Main source
index.html → Homepage
GitHub Pages → Auto-deploy engine
yourusername.github.io → Your live website

If you want, Boss, I can also: ✨ generate your starter site template ✨ create a luxury, metaverse-inspired landing page design ✨ build the full structure for your portfolio ✨ prepare a GitHub Pages site specifically for your XR projects or Creator Academy

Just tell me the vibe + purpose and I’ll draft the full structure.

User: thisi is what i see at step 1[edit | edit source]

thisi is what i see at step 1

Assistant: Boss, perfect — you’re exactly where you need to be.[edit | edit source]

Boss, perfect — you’re exactly where you need to be. Here’s exactly what to do next on this screen so you can connect Windsurf to GitHub cleanly.

###[edit | edit source]

This should match the purpose of your Windsurf project.

Examples:

my-xr-experience
project-flowerbed-test
meta-webxr-build
witchmore-academy-xr

📌 If you’re trying to create a GitHub Pages website Use: mlove93.github.io

If you are NOT creating a website, then use any project name.

Do not add:[edit | edit source]

❌ README
❌ .gitignore
❌ license

Why? Because your project already exists locally in Windsurf. If you add files here, you’ll create conflicts.

So keep everything OFF / No / No license Just like your screenshot.

Choose Public (easier for now).[edit | edit source]

You can make it private later.

Once you press that button, GitHub will take you to a page that shows something like:[edit | edit source]

git init
git add .
git commit -m “first commit”
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/your-repo-name.git
git push -u origin main

That page is your copy-paste script for Windsurf.

Tell me the exact repo name you choose and I’ll give you the exact commands to paste into your Windsurf terminal, line by line.[edit | edit source]

Or if you’re ready, open Windsurf and run:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/YOUR-REPO-NAME.git
git push -u origin main

Replace YOUR-REPO-NAME with the name you typed on GitHub.

Boss, just drop the repo name you picked and I’ll tailor the exact commands for your setup.

User: for step 1, like this?[edit | edit source]

for step 1, like this?

Assistant: Boss — YES.[edit | edit source]

Boss — YES. If you’re creating a GitHub Pages site, the repo name in your screenshot is correct as long as this is the site you want:

Your repo name must match exactly:[edit | edit source]

h2wdemo.github.io

And you did it right.

###[edit | edit source]

README → Off
.gitignore → No
License → No

This prevents conflicts when you connect Windsurf.

GitHub will redirect you and show instructions like:[edit | edit source]

git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

DON’T WORRY, I’ll give you the exact commands next.

Open your Windsurf terminal inside your project folder.[edit | edit source]

Make sure your path looks like:

C:\Users\Marlaina\Documents\WebXR\h2wdemo   (or whatever your folder is)

Then paste these:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

Once this runs successfully:

👉 h2wdemo.github.io^[2][edit | edit source]

(It may take 1–3 minutes to build.)

Boss, if you want, I can also help you:

✨ Upload your existing WindSurf project as-is ✨ Add an index.html if you don’t have one ✨ Build a luxury XR landing page template ✨ Set up multi-page navigation (home, projects, XR builds, etc.)

Just tell me what you want this site to showcase.

User: for step 2, this is the current project and path[edit | edit source]

for step 2, this is the current project and path

Assistant: Perfect, Boss — you’re in the exact right place.[edit | edit source]

Perfect, Boss — you’re in the exact right place. Your terminal path:

C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002>

means you’re inside your Windsurf project folder, so now we connect it to your GitHub repo.

Since your GitHub repo is:[edit | edit source]

👉 h2wdemo.github.io (owned by mlove93)

use this URL:

https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git

Now paste these line by line in your Windsurf terminal:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

###[edit | edit source]

That’s fine — the local folder name does NOT have to match the repo name.

Git only cares about:

git remote add origin https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git

As long as that line points to the repo you created, you're good.

Your site will go live here:[edit | edit source]

👉 h2wdemo.github.io^[3]

If you don’t have an index.html yet, it will show a 404 page. We can fix that in 2 minutes.

Boss, once you run the commands, screenshot the result and I’ll confirm everything synced perfectly.

User:[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss, here’s what’s happening — and what you need to do next.[edit | edit source]

Boss, here’s what’s happening — and what you need to do next.

GitHub is asking you to authorize Git for the bossleoio account.[edit | edit source]

But the repo you created earlier (h2wdemo.github.io) is under:

👉 mlove93

That’s why you got the 403 Permission Denied error.

GitHub is basically saying:

##[edit | edit source]

⭐ Best, cleaner, simpler, long-term

###[edit | edit source]

You’re logged in as the wrong GitHub user.

1. Log out of GitHub completely[edit | edit source]

Log back in as bossleoio
Create the repo again with this name:

👉 h2wdemo.github.io

After creating it, your repo URL should look like:

https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git

In your Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

This will now succeed because:

Local Git user: bossleoio

GitHub repo owner: bossleoio

= MATCHES (no more 403 errors)

⭐ Only choose if you want your public sites under that username[edit | edit source]

If you choose this path:

You cannot continue logged in as bossleoio.
You must sign in as mlove93 in the GitHub login window instead.

Just reply with one word:[edit | edit source]

or[edit | edit source]

And I’ll give you exact step-by-step instructions tailored to that identity so everything syncs perfectly.[edit | edit source]

No errors. No conflicts. Clean pipeline.

User: where can i find this code?[edit | edit source]

where can i find this code?

Assistant: Boss, the device code does NOT come from GitHub.com.[edit | edit source]

Boss, the device code does NOT come from GitHub.com. It comes directly from your Windsurf terminal at the moment you ran:

git push -u origin main

Git printed the code in the terminal, not on the website.

Let me show you exactly what you’re looking for.

When you run git push, your terminal shows something like:[edit | edit source]

To continue login, please open https://github.com/login/device
and enter the code:

ABCD-EFGH

Waiting for authorization...

The code will be in your terminal exactly like this:

👉 ABCD-EFGH (8 characters with a dash)

You copy THAT code and paste it into the boxes on the screen you sent.

Just run this again in Windsurf:[edit | edit source]

git push -u origin main

Git will print a new code in the terminal.

1. Go back to your Windsurf terminal[edit | edit source]

Run: ``bash git push -u origin main ``
Look for a line that says your device code
Copy it
Paste it into the GitHub “Authorize your device” page

If you want, take a screenshot of your Windsurf terminal right after running git push and I’ll point to exactly where your code is.

User: what does this mean exactly?[edit | edit source]

Boss, let me break this down for you in the simplest, cleanest way — this is the core workflow every developer uses, and it’s the same rhythm you’ll use when updating your XR projects in Windsurf.

Think of these 3 commands as:

📦 Add → 📜 Save → 🚀 Upload

This tells Git:[edit | edit source]

The . means add everything in this folder.

If you changed 10 files, it prepares all 10. If you changed 1 file, it prepares that 1.

This creates a snapshot of your project at this moment.[edit | edit source]

Example message:

git commit -m "Added index.html and updated homepage"

A commit is like:

📸 A saved version of your project that you can always go back to.

Every commit has:

a unique ID
your message
a timestamp
all the changes you made

This uploads your commit(s) to your GitHub repo.[edit | edit source]

After you push:

Your GitHub repo updates
Your GitHub Pages site updates
Anyone collaborating sees the updated files
Your work is backed up online

This is the step that actually moves your project from your computer → GitHub.

Every time you make changes in your project:[edit | edit source]

Track the files[edit | edit source]

git add .

Save your work[edit | edit source]

git commit -m "Updated XR scene with new assets"

Upload it to GitHub[edit | edit source]

git push

That’s the entire workflow.

Let’s say you:[edit | edit source]

Add a new 3D model
Update your scene file
Fix a script

You would run:

git add .
git commit -m "Added new avatar and updated XR environment"
git push

Now your GitHub repo — and your GitHub Pages site — are up to date.

Every change you make follows the same pattern.[edit | edit source]

This is how you stay organized, avoid file loss, roll back mistakes, and keep your projects synced across machines.

You're officially in the workflow now — this is how professionals ship code.

Boss, let me break this down clean and simple so you understand exactly what each command does — and how it affects your GitHub website being visible publicly.

###[edit | edit source]

This means:

👉 “Track ALL the changes I made in this folder.”

You’re telling Git: “Hey, these are the files I want to save.”

This means:[edit | edit source]

👉 “Save a snapshot of all the changes I just added.”

The message is just a short description:

Examples:

"added index.html"
"updated homepage"
"fixed layout"
"new assets"

Think of a commit like hitting Save + Version History on your project.

This means:[edit | edit source]

👉 “Send all my saved files to GitHub.”

Once you push, GitHub receives your website files and updates your public site.

GitHub Pages ONLY updates when you push changes.[edit | edit source]

If you:

add files locally
edit HTML
fix errors
rename your project

Your website will NOT update until you run:

git add .
git commit -m "update"
git push

When you push:

👉 yourname.github.io^[4][edit | edit source]

For a GitHub Pages site, you need:[edit | edit source]

h2wdemo.github.io[edit | edit source]

(under the correct account — bossleoio)

Go to your repo[edit | edit source]

→ Settings → General → Danger Zone → Ensure Public is selected

This is REQUIRED.[edit | edit source]

If you do NOT have index.html, GitHub shows a 404 page.

I can generate one for you if needed.

Go to your repo:[edit | edit source]

Settings → Pages You should see:

“Your site is live at h2wdemo.github.xn--io-02t^[5]

If not, I’ll walk you through enabling it.

Tell me:[edit | edit source]

Yes or No?[edit | edit source]

If you’re unsure, send a screenshot of your Windsurf file explorer (left sidebar with folders/files).

I’ll tell you exactly what’s missing and how to make your site go live instantly.

User: i already have an index.html[edit | edit source]

i already have an index.html

Assistant: Boss, your GitHub setup is correct — the reason your page looks blank has NOTHING to do with GitHub.[edit | edit source]

Boss, your GitHub setup is correct — the reason your page looks blank has NOTHING to do with GitHub. The issue is how Vite + TypeScript bundles files, and how GitHub Pages serves them.

Let me break it down cleanly so you can fix it fast.

You’re loading your script like this:[edit | edit source]

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

But GitHub Pages cannot run .ts (TypeScript) files directly in the browser.

Vite normally bundles these into JavaScript during npm run build, and outputs them into the dist/ folder.

Right now:

Your repo is not using the Vite build output
Your site is showing a blank page because GitHub cannot load /src/index.ts

###[edit | edit source]

(Easiest for quick demos)[edit | edit source]

Compile your TypeScript → JavaScript manually OR generate a simple JS test file.
Update your script tag to something like:

<script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>

Push the updated files again:

git add .
git commit -m "fix script path"
git push

Your page will load.

This is fine for simple demos, but not ideal for full Vite projects.

(Best for Vite, XR, WebXR, Mixed Reality apps)[edit | edit source]

In your terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This generates a /dist folder containing the real website.

In GitHub → Repository → Settings → Pages:[edit | edit source]

Change the “Build and Deployment” folder:

Source: Deploy from a branch
Branch: main
Folder: /dist

Click Save

Make sure /dist is NOT in .gitignore.[edit | edit source]

Then:

git add dist -f
git commit -m "add build output"
git push

Now your site will load perfectly.

- Vite is a development server.[edit | edit source]

GitHub Pages is a static host.
GitHub cannot interpret TypeScript OR your Vite dev environment.

Only the built /dist folder is production-ready.

Boss, start with the proper method:[edit | edit source]

=====

npm run build =====

Tell me the result or if you see a /dist folder appear.

Once that's there, I’ll walk you step-by-step to make it live.

User: in step two the folder doesnot show[edit | edit source]

in step two the folder doesnot show

Assistant: Boss — you’re ONE step away from getting your GitHub Pages site working.[edit | edit source]

Boss — you’re ONE step away from getting your GitHub Pages site working. Your site is not blank because of your index.html — it’s blank because:

GitHub Pages ONLY deploys files that are directly inside the top level of your repository, NOT inside subfolders like:[edit | edit source]

/src
/public
/ui

Right now your structure looks like this:

h2wdemo002/
   src/
   public/
   ui/
   index.html   ← this exists but...
   Vite config
   Node modules

But the real issue is this:

You are visiting:[edit | edit source]

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/ ❌ That is incorrect.

Your real GitHub Pages site is:

👉 h2wdemo.github.io^[6] OR 👉 bossleoio.github.io^[7] (if nested, but this isn’t what you want)

Your screenshot shows:

This means GitHub deployed a project page, not a user site.[edit | edit source]

Everything’s working — but your index.html must be in the root of the repo you deployed, not buried inside a Vite/WebXR project folder.

#[edit | edit source]

Since you’re using Vite + TypeScript + modules, your site won’t render by default because GitHub Pages cannot run TypeScript directly.

To deploy a Vite site, you must:

In Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This will generate a dist/ folder.

1. Go to Settings → Pages[edit | edit source]

Change Source = Deploy from a branch
Change folder from / (root) → /dist
Save

Then your site will load.

If you only want a quick working site right now:[edit | edit source]

Create a simple index.html at the root of the repo
Add basic HTML code
Commit + push
Visit: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io

This works instantly — but it won’t run your Vite/WebXR project.

GitHub Pages only lets you choose folders that exist in the repository, not your local computer.[edit | edit source]

If your repo only has:

/root
/docs

Then those are the ONLY options that appear.

You cannot choose /public, /src, or /dist until they exist in the repo.

Tell me one of these:[edit | edit source]

→ I will give you exact Vite + GitHub Pages setup commands[edit | edit source]

→ I will help you move or create a working index.html[edit | edit source]

→ I’ll set up the full dev-to-deploy workflow for you[edit | edit source]

Just tell me which direction you want to take.

User: in step 1, there is an issue with adding the build line[edit | edit source]

in step 1, there is an issue with adding the build line

Assistant: Alright Boss — I see exactly what’s going wrong with your vite.config.ts file.[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss — I see exactly what’s going wrong with your vite.config.ts file. The issue isn’t GitHub Pages. It’s the syntax inside your Vite config.

You added:

build: {
  outDir: 'docs'
}

…but the opening { before build: is wrong, so Vite is reading it as broken syntax.

Let’s fix this cleanly.

Your vite.config.ts MUST look exactly like this (copy/paste):[edit | edit source]

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';

export default defineConfig({
  base: '/h2wdemo.github.io/',
  publicDir: 'public',
  build: {
    outDir: 'docs',   // GitHub Pages expects your site in /docs
  }
});

- The build block goes inside the top-level {} of defineConfig.[edit | edit source]

Every { must have a matching }.
Your previous version had a stray bracket before build.

That’s why VSCode showed a yellow warning dot.

Run this in your Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This will generate a /docs folder.

Now push it to GitHub:

git add .
git commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages"
git push

Go to:[edit | edit source]

Settings → Pages

Set:

Branch: main
Folder: docs

Save.

Now open your live site:

👉 bossleoio.github.io^[8]

(We can switch this to a cleaner top-level domain later.)

You can also rename the repo to:[edit | edit source]

👉 h2wdemo

Then your site becomes:

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo/

Way cleaner for XR projects.

Boss, send me your updated vite.config.ts if you want me to confirm everything is perfect before you build.

User: actually meant to screenshot this[edit | edit source]

actually meant to screenshot this

Assistant: Boss — this error tells me exactly what’s happening:[edit | edit source]

Boss — this error tells me exactly what’s happening:

That’s why Vite/TypeScript is screaming:[edit | edit source]

Let me walk you through the correct way to add the outDir: 'docs' setting without breaking your config.

Open your vite.config.ts and look for this:[edit | edit source]

build: {
    ...
}

It already exists — that’s why adding a second one gives you an error.

###[edit | edit source]

build: {
}

build: {
  outDir: 'docs'
}

🚫 This creates two build sections → invalid.

=====

export default defineConfig({ =====
  base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",
  publicDir: "public",

  build: {
    outDir: "docs",      // <-- Add this line inside the existing build block
    emptyOutDir: true    // (optional) clears old builds
  }
});

🔥 Only ONE build block — that’s the key.

###[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This will output your site to:

/docs

=====

git add . =====
git commit -m "Configure GitHub Pages build"
git push

- Source → main[edit | edit source]

Folder → /docs

(This will now appear because /docs exists.)

👉 bossleoio.github.io^[9][edit | edit source]

Send me your full vite.config.ts and I’ll rewrite it perfectly for GitHub Pages — clean, organized, and error-free.[edit | edit source]

Just say: “Here’s my vite.config.ts” and paste it.

User: after part 4, i do not see any changes in the repo, once i do the run build command how does it sync to github repo?[edit | edit source]

after part 4, i do not see any changes in the repo, once i do the run build command how does it sync to github repo?

Assistant: Boss, I’m going to break this down with absolute clarity, because you’re mixing two different systems:[edit | edit source]

Boss, I’m going to break this down with absolute clarity, because you’re mixing two different systems:

Running:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

does NOT automatically sync anything to GitHub. Vite generates a new folder (usually /dist or /docs) on your local machine. But GitHub will only show changes after you commit + push that folder.

Right now your repo is not updating because:

###[edit | edit source]

This is why your GitHub Pages site is blank.[edit | edit source]

You have two choices for Vite + GitHub Pages:[edit | edit source]

###[edit | edit source]

This is the cleanest and easiest approach.

Right now, your config is wrong because you have two `build` blocks.[edit | edit source]

You must merge them.

Here is the fixed version you should paste into vite.config.ts:

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    host: "0.0.0.0",
    port: 8081,
    open: true,
  },
  build: {
    outDir: 'docs',            // THIS is what GitHub Pages needs
    sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
    target: "esnext",
    rollupOptions: {
      input: "./index.html",
    },
  },
  base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/", // REQUIRED for GitHub Pages
  publicDir: "public",
});

That's what caused your error.[edit | edit source]

In Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This will generate:

/docs
   index.html
   assets/
   ...

NOW GitHub Pages can see your site.

Run:[edit | edit source]

git add docs
git commit -m "Add build output for GitHub Pages"
git push

Now your GitHub repo will update and show the new /docs folder.

Your screenshot shows this:[edit | edit source]

✔ Branch: main ✔ Folder: /docs

Perfect — leave it exactly like that.

###[edit | edit source]

Your site will load successfully.

Here’s the exact mental model you want to hold:[edit | edit source]

###[edit | edit source]

They are three separate steps.[edit | edit source]

Boss, if you send me:

Your full vite.config.ts
Your project structure
Your GitHub repo link

I’ll tailor it perfectly so your site deploys flawlessly every time.

Boss, I see exactly what’s happening now — and I’m going to break this down cleanly so you can get your GitHub Pages site running today.

You’re extremely close. The only issues left are:

Your Vite config is double-defining build (causing warnings/errors)
Your build output is not going into /docs consistently
Your GitHub repo isn’t updating because the build folder (docs/) wasn’t added & committed yet
Your GitHub Pages folder selector only shows /root and /docs because GitHub only shows folders that exist in your repo
You now have a /docs folder locally — but you haven’t pushed it to GitHub yet, so GitHub doesn’t see it

I’m going to give you the corrected Vite config + the correct build pipeline + how to push the generated /docs folder cleanly.

Right now, you have:[edit | edit source]

build: {
   outDir: "dist",
   sourcemap: ...
}
...
build: {
   outDir: "docs"
}

That breaks Vite — you can only have one build object.

Here is the correct version:

Replace your whole build: section with this:[edit | edit source]

build: {
  outDir: "docs",           // important! GitHub Pages reads from /docs
  sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
  target: "esnext",
  rollupOptions: {
    input: "./index.html"
  }
},

Your full config should ONLY have ONE build section like this:

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    enableWatcher({ enableWatcher: true }),
    compileUIKit({
      sourceDir: "ui",
      outputDir: "public/ui",
      verbose: true
    })
  ],
  server: { host: "0.0.0.0", port: 8081, open: true },

  build: {
    outDir: "docs",
    sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
    target: "esnext",
    rollupOptions: { input: "./index.html" }
  },

  esbuild: { target: "esnext" },
  publicDir: "public",
  base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",
});

⚠️ You MUST delete the old build section before saving.

Inside your Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

After this runs, you should see:

h2wdemo002
 └── docs/
     ├── index.html
     ├── assets/
     └── (other compiled files)

This folder must exist before GitHub will show it in the Pages settings.

GitHub does NOT automatically sync your build output.[edit | edit source]

You must push it manually:

git add docs -f
git add .
git commit -m "Add build output for GitHub Pages"
git push

Why -f? Because Vite build folders often match .gitignore patterns — forcing ensures Git tracks it.

After you push, refresh GitHub and you will see:

/docs

Now GitHub Pages will detect it.

Now that /docs is in the repo:[edit | edit source]

Go to Settings → Pages
Source = Deploy from branch
Branch = main
Folder = /docs
Click Save

GitHub will publish your site here:[edit | edit source]

👉 bossleoio.github.io^[10] (or if you rename the repo, it may become) 👉 bossleoio.github.io^[11]

⚠️ Remember: The repo name = subfolder name in GitHub Pages.

It’s because Vite must use the correct base path.[edit | edit source]

Your repo name is:

👉 h2wdemo.github.io

So your Vite config MUST use this line:

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

You already have this — good.

👉 Validate your entire Vite config?[edit | edit source]

👉 Rewrite a working template? 👉 Fix the pathing for XR assets? 👉 Set up multi-page routing?

Just tell me. I can harden this project for production in minutes.

User: how do i open devtools[edit | edit source]

how do i open devtools

Assistant: Boss, here’s the quick, clean way to open DevTools depending on where you’re running your app.[edit | edit source]

Boss, here’s the quick, clean way to open DevTools depending on where you’re running your app. I’ll give you all three options so no matter how you’re serving your XR build, you can debug the blank screen.

Open your local preview in the browser, then:[edit | edit source]

F12[edit | edit source]

or Ctrl + Shift + I (Mac: Cmd + Option + I)

This opens Chrome DevTools.

Go to your site:[edit | edit source]

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Then press:

F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I

Quest browsers support DevTools remote debugging through the Meta Quest Developer Hub.[edit | edit source]

1. Connect your Quest to your PC with USB[edit | edit source]

Open Meta Quest Developer Hub
Go to Device Manager → Browser
Find your webpage
Click “Inspect”

This opens DevTools for the Quest browser on your computer.

Once DevTools opens, check for errors:[edit | edit source]

These usually reveal:[edit | edit source]

Wrong file paths
Incorrect base URL
Vite build missing files
404s for /src/index.ts (very common)
Module load failures
Syntax errors

Your issue is almost certainly one of these:[edit | edit source]

That won’t work after build.[edit | edit source]

Replace:

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

With the proper build output:

In dev: Vite transforms it live
In build: Vite outputs bundled JS in /docs
You must reference the built file (usually /assets/index-something.js)

I can fix this for you once I see your /docs folder contents.

You already set:[edit | edit source]

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

Which is correct, but your index.html paths must be relative, not absolute.

Change:

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

❌ WRONG (absolute path breaks on GitHub Pages)

Replace with:

<script type="module" src="./src/index.ts"></script>

or better:

<script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>

(depending on build output)

Just send me one screenshot:[edit | edit source]

👉 The files inside your /docs folder after you run:

npm run build

Once I see what Vite generated, I will tell you exactly what the correct <script> path should be so your GitHub Pages deployment works immediately.

If you're ready now: Send: screenshot of /docs folder.

User:[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss, your devtools are already open in that screenshot — that’s Chrome DevTools.[edit | edit source]

Boss, your devtools are already open in that screenshot — that’s Chrome DevTools. But if you want to open them yourself anytime, here are the ways:

###[edit | edit source]

The fastest way:

`Ctrl + Shift + I` (Windows)[edit | edit source]

or F12

That opens Elements, Console, Network, Sources, everything.

###[edit | edit source]

Ctrl + Shift + J

Your current screenshot already shows:[edit | edit source]

✔ IWSDK is loading ✔ The DevTools Console panel ✔ Errors (which means your devtools are active)

So you’re in the right place.

###[edit | edit source]

404 error loading webxr.png → The file doesn’t exist in /docs. → Something is referencing an image that wasn’t copied in the build.
“Message port closed before response” → This happens when the app tries to connect to a WebXR runtime from a static GitHub Pages environment. → GitHub Pages cannot run WebXR APIs like localhost can. (This is expected.)
Black screen → This is because your built version uses absolute paths (/src/...) that only work on localhost.

Your HTML still has:[edit | edit source]

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

That leading slash breaks everything on GitHub Pages.

It tells the browser:

So the browser goes to:

https://h2wdemo.github.io/src/index.ts

…but your file lives in:

https://h2wdemo.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/src/index.ts

##[edit | edit source]

Change this:

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

to:

<script type="module" src="./src/index.ts"></script>

or:

<script type="module" src="src/index.ts"></script>

Run:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

Make sure your Vite config outputs to docs:

build: {
  outDir: "docs",
}

Then push:

git add .
git commit -m "Fix paths for GitHub Pages"
git push

GitHub Pages will rebuild automatically.

Right now GitHub Pages is serving a blank screen because the JS never loads.[edit | edit source]

Fixing the script path fixes that instantly.

If you want me to double-check your vite.config.ts and folder structure, send me a screenshot of:

📁 entire project root 📁 docs folder after build 📄 your index.html after updating the script path

I’ll get this running clean.

User: current settings[edit | edit source]

current settings

Assistant: Boss — your site is building, your /docs folder is correct, BUT your black screen + 404 errors are happening because of…[edit | edit source]

Boss — your site is building, your /docs folder is correct, BUT your black screen + 404 errors are happening because of ONE root issue:

GitHub Pages serves your site from a subdirectory, not from /.[edit | edit source]

Your site is here:

So your root path is not `/` — it is:[edit | edit source]

/h2wdemo.github.io/

Anything in your HTML or JS that starts with / will break on GitHub Pages.

And your index.html currently has this:

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

This is guaranteed to 404 on GitHub Pages.

That’s EXACTLY the error in your DevTools:

Failed to load resource: 404 webxr.png
Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed

Because GitHub Pages is trying to load:

https://bossleoio.github.io/src/index.ts   ❌ WRONG

But the real path is:

https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/src/index.ts   ✔️ CORRECT

So let’s fix it.

Replace:[edit | edit source]

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

with:

<script type="module" src="./src/index.ts"></script>

Or even safer:

<script type="module" src="src/index.ts"></script>

This removes the leading / which breaks everything on GitHub Pages.

Inside src/index.ts, you will have imports or asset loads like:[edit | edit source]

"/metaspatial/myfile"
"/textures/mytexture.png"
"/gltf/generated/model.gltf"

These must become relative:

"./metaspatial/myfile"
"./textures/mytexture.png"
"./gltf/generated/model.gltf"

If you leave the / at the front → GitHub Pages = instant 404.

You already did:[edit | edit source]

build: {
  outDir: "docs",
}
base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

This is perfect for GitHub Pages.

Your /docs folder builds correctly. Your Pages settings show /docs.

So the LAST missing step is:

###[edit | edit source]

After fixing paths:[edit | edit source]

=====

npm run build =====

This will regenerate the /docs folder.

=====

git add . =====
git commit -m "Fix asset paths for GitHub Pages"
git push

Refresh your site:

It should now load WITHOUT a black screen.[edit | edit source]

- index.html[edit | edit source]

src/index.ts
any file where assets are imported

I’ll correct every broken path for you.

User: this is what is currently visibile in my index.ts file[edit | edit source]

this is what is currently visibile in my index.ts file

Assistant: Boss — I see exactly what’s happening now.[edit | edit source]

Boss — I see exactly what’s happening now. Your GitHub Pages site is loading, but your IWS SDK project is failing after deployment because the asset paths are wrong for GitHub Pages.

Let me walk you through the fix clearly and quickly.

Your console shows:[edit | edit source]

Failed to load resource (404): webxr.png
Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed…

This happens because GitHub Pages changes your base URL.

Your project is hosted at:

This means every asset must load relative to that folder, not root /.[edit | edit source]

Right now your app is trying to load:

/textures/webxr.png
/src/index.ts
/audio/chime.mp3

These are interpreted as root paths, so GitHub Pages tries:

https://bossleoio.github.io/textures/webxr.png  ❌ not found
https://bossleoio.github.io/src/index.ts        ❌ not found

That’s why everything fails.

This must match your repo name, NOT your domain.[edit | edit source]

Your vite.config.ts currently has:

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

⬆️ This is correct.

But when you build, Vite must rewrite all paths using that base.

Your index.html currently contains:[edit | edit source]

<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>

❌ This is wrong for GitHub Pages.

It needs to become:

<script type="module" src="./src/index.ts"></script>

or:

<script type="module" src="/h2wdemo.github.io/src/index.ts"></script>

I recommend relative paths:

=====

<script type="module" src="./src/index.ts"></script> =====

Your assets use paths like:[edit | edit source]

url: "/audio/chime.mp3",

❌ Wrong for GitHub Pages.

GitHub Pages will look for:

bossleoio.github.io/audio/...

But your files live inside /docs.

Correct version:

url: "audio/chime.mp3",

or if deeper:

url: "./audio/chime.mp3",

Same for textures:

url: "./textures/webxr.png",

###[edit | edit source]

Change:

/src/index.ts     ❌

to:

./src/index.ts    ✅

| | |[edit | edit source]

| --- | --- | | | | | | |

=====

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/", =====

=====

npm run build =====

Run:[edit | edit source]

git add .
git commit -m "Fix asset paths for GitHub Pages"
git push

I can rewrite your full index.html, vite.config.ts, and index.ts with all the corrected paths so you don’t have to guess.[edit | edit source]

Boss, here’s the clean, executive-level summary of everything that happened in this entire troubleshooting session — what the issue is, what steps we took, what kept breaking, and why you’re still stuck.

Use this recap to forward to a mentor or senior engineer so they can jump in fast without you repeating yourself.

🔥 SUMMARY OF ALL ISSUES & TROUBLESHOOTING — FULL BREAKDOWN[edit | edit source]

(For escalation to a mentor / engineering support)

1. The Core Problem[edit | edit source]

You built an Immersive Web SDK (IWSDK) project in Windsurf IDE → deployed it to GitHub Pages → but the live site:

👉 bossleoio.github.io^[12]

keeps showing a black screen with 404 missing asset errors, specifically:

GET textures/webxr.png 404 (Not Found)
Uncaught (in promise) Event
runtime.lastError: The message port closed...

The project runs locally, but fails online after deployment.

This means:

GitHub Pages cannot find your assets after deployment.[edit | edit source]

It’s a pathing & build output issue — not a code issue.

2. What You Successfully Completed[edit | edit source]

Here’s everything you DID get working:

✅ Created the correct GitHub repo[edit | edit source]

You created:

h2wdemo.github.io (under the bossleoio account)

✅ Connected Windsurf → GitHub[edit | edit source]

Fixed the 403 permission error by:

Pointing Git to the correct repo
Logging into GitHub as bossleoio
Clearing credential conflicts
Success pushing commits

✅ Got GitHub Pages deployed from the /docs folder[edit | edit source]

You:

Updated vite.config.ts
Changed build output to outDir: "docs"
Ran npm run build
Verified /docs exists
GitHub Pages settings: - Source: Deploy from branch - Branch: main - Folder: /docs

✅ Files appear correctly in /docs on GitHub[edit | edit source]

Including:

/assets
/textures
/ui
/index.html

Deployment is occurring correctly. GitHub Pages is serving the files.

3. What You Attempted to Fix[edit | edit source]

A. You updated vite.config.ts for GitHub Pages[edit | edit source]

Added base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/"
Added outDir: "docs"
Ensured publicDir set properly

B. You rebuilt and re-pushed multiple times[edit | edit source]

Confirmed /docs updates correctly
Confirmed deployment messages change

C. You checked DevTools[edit | edit source]

You opened the Inspector and found:

❌ 404 NOT FOUND for textures/webxr.png[edit | edit source]

Meaning GitHub Pages can’t find:

/textures/webxr.png

Even though the file exists in:

/docs/textures/webxr.png

❌ IWSDK fallback errors[edit | edit source]

These errors appear only when assets fail to load.

4. The Recurring Issue (Root Cause)[edit | edit source]

🔥 The site continues to look for assets using wrong absolute paths:[edit | edit source]

Example:

/textures/webxr.png

But GitHub Pages requires:

/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/webxr.png

Because your GitHub Pages site is not at the domain root, but inside:

https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

So assets must use relative paths, not root / paths.

GitHub Pages never allows root / paths unless your site is the root repo (bossleoio.github.io).

This is the recurring error causing everything to break.

5. Why It Keeps Breaking[edit | edit source]

Every time Vite rebuilds, your IWSDK project outputs asset paths like:

/textures/webxr.png
/src/index.ts
/ui/panel.js

These leading slashes (/) mean:

👉 “Look at the root of the domain”

But your domain root is:

bossleoio.github.io/

NOT:

bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

So GitHub tries to fetch:

❌ https://bossleoio.github.io/textures/webxr.png (404) Instead of: ✅ https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/webxr.png

This is the source of:

• Missing assets[edit | edit source]

• Black screen[edit | edit source]

• 404 errors[edit | edit source]

• Uncaught event[edit | edit source]

• World.create never resolving[edit | edit source]

• Message port closed[edit | edit source]

And this issue continues even after Vite config changes because IWSDK injects its own loader paths.

6. What You Need a Mentor to Fix[edit | edit source]

A senior engineer must now help with:

A. Correcting IWSDK asset resolution for GitHub Pages[edit | edit source]

The IWSDK build system uses absolute paths internally. A workaround may require:

✔ custom asset loader map ✔ rewriting asset URLs during build ✔ patching IWSDK base path ✔ routing fix in GitHub Pages ✔ manual path rewriting in the /docs folder

B. Ensuring this path works:[edit | edit source]

bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

IWSDK generally expects:

domain.com/ (root)

So subfolder deployments need adjustments.

C. Confirming Vite base path is correct[edit | edit source]

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/"

But IWSDK might ignore it for embedded assets.

7. What You Should Send to Your Mentor[edit | edit source]

Boss, send them:

1️⃣ Your issue (high-level)[edit | edit source]

My IWSDK project deploys to GitHub Pages but fails to load assets due to path resolution. Assets return 404 because IWSDK uses absolute paths (/textures/...) instead of the GitHub Pages subpath (/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/...).

2️⃣ What we’ve already done[edit | edit source]

Repo setup
GitHub Pages config
Vite config base + outDir
Docs build output
Verified assets exist
Analyzed DevTools errors
Identified absolute path issue

3️⃣ What keeps breaking[edit | edit source]

Assets load from / instead of /h2wdemo.github.io/
404 errors persist
Black screen persists
IWSDK initialization fails due to asset load failure

4️⃣ What needs resolution[edit | edit source]

They need to help patch, override, or configure IWSDK and Vite so assets are referenced with relative or project-prefixed paths — not absolute / paths.

If you want, Boss…[edit | edit source]

I can package this summary into a PDF, Slack message, email, or GitHub issue template so you can drop it straight into your mentor’s inbox professionally.

Just say the word.

gpt-5-1-thinking[edit | edit source]

User: i build my experience in windsurf IDE, how do i connect it to a github repo[edit | edit source]

i build my experience in windsurf (IDE), how do i connect it to a github repo

Assistant: Got you, Boss.[edit | edit source]

Got you, Boss. Think of this as “plugging your Windsurf project into GitHub” so every change is tracked and pushable.

I’ll walk you through the exact sequence you’ll use 90% of the time.

- ✅ A GitHub account (github.com)[edit | edit source]

✅ Windsurf open with your project folder loaded - e.g. C:\Users\Marlaina\Documents\WebXR\MyProject

1. Go to github.com and log in.[edit | edit source]

Click “New” (New Repository).
Name it something like: - my-xr-experience or project-flowerbed-test
Set it to Public (or Private if you prefer).
Important: - If your project already exists on your computer, - DO NOT add a README, .gitignore, or License (keep them unchecked).
Click Create Repository.

GitHub will now show you a page with some code examples like:

git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git
git push -u origin main

Keep this tab open. You’ll use that URL in a second.

1. In Windsurf, with your project folder open: - Go to View → Terminal (or similar menu) - Or use the shortcut (often `Ctrl + \ or similar, depending on setup).[edit | edit source]

Look at the terminal prompt and confirm it’s at your project folder. - Example: C:\Users\Marlaina\Documents\WebXR\MyProject>

If it’s not in the right folder, you can navigate:

cd "C:\Users\Marlaina\Documents\WebXR\MyProject"

Run these commands in order in the Windsurf terminal:[edit | edit source]

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

What this does:

git init → Turns your folder into a Git project
git add . → Stages all your files
git commit → Saves a snapshot with a message

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Then re-run the git commit command.

From the GitHub repo page you created, copy the HTTPS URL.[edit | edit source]

It looks like:

https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git

Back in Windsurf’s terminal, run:

git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git

git branch -M main → Makes sure your main branch is called main
git remote add origin ... → Tells Git: “This GitHub repo is where I push stuff.”

Now push all your code up:[edit | edit source]

git push -u origin main

The -u flag connects your local main branch to the main branch on GitHub.
The first time, it may ask you to log in or use a token. - If a browser window pops up, just log in. - If it asks for a personal access token, you’ll generate one on GitHub and paste it (we can walk through that if you hit it).

Once this runs successfully, your code is live on GitHub. Refresh your repo page in the browser and you’ll see all your files.

Any time you make changes in Windsurf and want to sync with GitHub:[edit | edit source]

From the terminal in your project folder, run:

git add .
git commit -m "Describe what you changed"
git push

That’s it. Windsurf → Git → GitHub. Clean pipeline.

- Windsurf = where you edit your files[edit | edit source]

Git = where you track changes
GitHub = where you store and share those changes online

If you drop your exact project path + GitHub repo link, I can literally write the exact commands you should paste line by line for that setup, no guessing.

User: received this error at step 2[edit | edit source]

received this error at step 2

Assistant: Nice, this is an easy one to fix, Boss.[edit | edit source]

Nice, this is an easy one to fix, Boss.

The error is literally telling us what’s wrong:

In plain terms:

The repo belongs to mlove93
Your computer is logged into Git/GitHub as bossleoio
GitHub is saying: “bossleoio is not allowed to push to mlove93’s repo.”

You’ve got two clean options. I’ll walk you through the simplest.

You keep the repo under `mlove93` and log in as that user when pushing.[edit | edit source]

On Windows:[edit | edit source]

Open Control Panel → User Accounts → Credential Manager
Click Windows Credentials
Under Generic Credentials, look for entries like: - git:https://github.com - or anything with github.com
Click each one → Remove

This wipes the cached bossleoio login.

Back in your Windsurf terminal (still in C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002), run:[edit | edit source]

git remote -v

You should see:

origin  https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git (push)

If it doesn’t, fix it with:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git

Now run:[edit | edit source]

git push -u origin main

Because we cleared the credentials, Git will:

Open a browser window
Or prompt you to log in / use a personal access token

Log in as mlove93, not bossleoio.

Once that succeeds, your code is live in the repo.

Your site URL will be:

👉 https://h2wdemo.github.io

(After GitHub Pages finishes building.)

If you’d rather keep everything under your bossleoio account:[edit | edit source]

On GitHub, while logged in as bossleoio, create a new repo named: h2wdemo.github.io
Then in Windsurf terminal:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

If you tell me which account you actually want to use for your public sites (mlove93 or bossleoio), I’ll stick to that for all future commands so everything stays consistent.

User: i will login in as bossleo.io,but i reached this screen[edit | edit source]

i will login in as bossleo.io,but i reached this screen

Assistant: Nice, this is progress, Boss — that screen is GitHub’s device login / 2FA step, not an error.[edit | edit source]

Nice, this is progress, Boss — that screen is GitHub’s device login / 2FA step, not an error.

Right now Git/GitHub are saying: “Before we let this computer push code as bossleoio, prove it’s really you.”

That page is asking for a device code (something like):[edit | edit source]

ABCD-EFGH

You do not invent this code. Git already printed it for you in your Windsurf terminal when you ran git push.

###[edit | edit source]

On GitHub in your browser:

Log in as bossleoio
Create this repo (if you haven’t already):

Its URL should look like: https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git

Back in Windsurf terminal (you’re in C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002):[edit | edit source]

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git

Run:[edit | edit source]

git push -u origin main

In the terminal you should now see something like:

- Copy the code from the terminal (e.g. ABCD-EFGH)[edit | edit source]

Paste it into the boxes on the “Authorize your device” page
Click Continue
On the next screen, click Authorize (for “Git Credential Manager” or similar)

Then go back to Windsurf — the git push should finish successfully.

1. Refresh your GitHub repo: - You should now see all your project files under https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io[edit | edit source]

Visit your site: - https://h2wdemo.github.io - If you don’t have an index.html yet, you’ll see a 404 (we can fix that next).

If you paste what your terminal shows right after git push -u origin main, I’ll read it line by line and confirm you’re fully connected.

User: received this error[edit | edit source]

received this error

Assistant: Good catch sharing the screenshot, Boss — it tells us exactly what’s wrong.[edit | edit source]

Good catch sharing the screenshot, Boss — it tells us exactly what’s wrong.

From your terminal:[edit | edit source]

So even though you typed:

git remote add origin https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git

your repo is still pointing to:

https://github.com/mlove93/h2wdemo.github.io.git

That’s why GitHub says: “Repo owner = mlove93, but you’re logged in as bossleoio → 403 (no permission).”

We just need to switch the remote URL.

1. Make sure the repo exists under `bossleoio` on GitHub[edit | edit source]

In your browser (logged in as bossleoio), confirm you have:

If not, create it now with that exact name.

Update the remote URL in Windsurf

Back in your Windsurf terminal (you’re in C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002), run:

git remote -v

You’ll see it still pointing to mlove93/....

Now switch it:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git

Confirm it changed:

git remote -v

You should now see:

origin  https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/bossleoio/h2wdemo.github.io.git (push)

Push again

Now run:

git push -u origin main

If it asks you to log in, log in as bossleoio
This time it should succeed, because: - Repo owner = bossleoio - Auth user = bossleoio

You already did:[edit | edit source]

git init
git add ...
git commit ...
git branch -M main
git remote add origin ...

Your repo is initialized. From now on, your normal flow is just:

git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push

Run those three commands (git remote -v, git remote set-url ..., git push -u origin main) and send me the next terminal screenshot if anything looks off. I’ll get you to that live https://h2wdemo.github.io today.

User: my page is currently blank: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/[edit | edit source]

my page is currently blank: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Assistant: Love it, Boss — you’re very close.[edit | edit source]

Love it, Boss — you’re very close. Let’s clean up two things:

What those git commands actually mean
Why your GitHub Page is blank and how to fix it

====

git add . ====
git commit -m "your message"
git push

Think of it like editing a Google Doc and then sending it to the cloud.

:[edit | edit source]

Tracks new files, deleted files, and edits.
The . means “everything in this folder.”

:[edit | edit source]

Creates a checkpoint in your project history.
The message is just a short note like: - "Add homepage" - "Update styles" - "Fix menu bug"

:[edit | edit source]

Sends your commits from your computer ➜ to the GitHub repo.
For GitHub Pages, every push triggers a rebuild of your website.

So your loop is:

Edit files in Windsurf
git add .
git commit -m "Describe the change"
git push
GitHub → rebuilds your site → updates your page

From your screenshot:[edit | edit source]

That means:

GitHub Pages is set up properly
It’s publicly visible
Anyone with that URL can see it

So the plumbing works. The reason it’s blank is almost certainly:

👉 You don’t have a real index.html (homepage) yet in the repo.

GitHub Pages is serving something, but there’s basically no content to show.

Let’s give your site an actual homepage.[edit | edit source]

1. In Windsurf, inside C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002[edit | edit source]

Create a new file called: index.html
Paste this starter code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Save the file.

In the Windsurf terminal (in the same folder):[edit | edit source]

git status        # just to see the new file
git add .
git commit -m "Add basic homepage"
git push

No extra flags needed now that origin and main are set.

Go to:[edit | edit source]

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Wait ~30–60 seconds if it still shows blank
Hard refresh if needed (Ctrl + F5)

You should now see your “Welcome to H2W Demo” page.

Anytime you change your website:[edit | edit source]

Edit files in Windsurf
git add .
git commit -m "what you changed"
git push
Refresh your GitHub Pages URL

If you want next, I can:

Turn that bare page into a luxury, metaverse-style landing page, or
Set up a multi-section site (Hero / About / Projects / Contact) using only HTML + CSS so it stays GitHub-Pages-friendly.

You tell me the vibe and purpose, Boss, and I’ll wireframe it in code.

User: in the step two the /dist is not showing[edit | edit source]

in the step two the /dist is not showing

Assistant: Love where you’re at with this, Boss.[edit | edit source]

Love where you’re at with this, Boss. Let’s untangle three things:

What git add / commit / push actually mean
Whether your GitHub site is live + public
Why the page looks blank and what to do about /dist not showing

====

git add . ====
git commit -m "your message"
git push

Think of it like working on a game build:

git add . >
git commit -m "your message" >
git push >

Your normal workflow going forward:

git add .
git commit -m "describe what you changed"
git push

From your screenshot, yes:[edit | edit source]

That means:

✅ GitHub Pages is enabled
✅ Source is main branch
✅ HTTPS is on
✅ It’s public to the internet

So visibility is not the issue.

Look at your index.html:[edit | edit source]

<body style="margin: 0">
  <div id="scene-container"></div>
  <script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>
</body>

Two key things:

There’s no visible content. - You only have a
with no width/height or text. - So the browser shows… nothing. A pure blank canvas. - That means the site is working; it just isn’t rendering any visible UI yet.
You’re pointing to TypeScript, not built JS, with an absolute path. - src="/src/index.ts" - Browsers can’t run .ts directly; Vite handles this in dev, but GitHub Pages is just static hosting. - And the leading / makes it an absolute path from the domain, which is wrong for project sites like https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/.

So you have two problems:

no visible elements → looks empty
no built JS → your experience code isn’t running

Let’s first just prove the site updates correctly.[edit | edit source]

Change your body in index.html to:[edit | edit source]

<body style="margin: 0; background: #020617; color: #e5e7eb; font-family: system-ui;">
  <h1 style="padding: 20px;">h2wdemo002 – GitHub Pages test</h1>
  <div id="scene-container"></div>
  <script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>
</body>

Then in your terminal (inside h2wdemo002):

git add .
git commit -m "Add visible heading to index.html"
git push

Give it a moment, then refresh:

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

If you see the heading, your pipeline is good.

GitHub Pages UI only offers:[edit | edit source]

/ (root)
/docs

It never shows /dist. That’s expected.

For a Vite project, the usual pattern is:

Here’s how to set that up.

Open vite.config.ts and adjust it roughly like this:[edit | edit source]

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  base: '/h2wdemo.github.io/',   // IMPORTANT for project pages
  build: {
    outDir: 'docs'               // build into /docs instead of /dist
  }
})

Key parts:

base must match your repo name with slashes: /h2wdemo.github.io/ - This fixes broken paths when the site lives at /h2wdemo.github.io/ under your domain.
outDir: 'docs' makes Vite build into a folder GitHub Pages actually supports.

In the terminal:[edit | edit source]

npm install        # if you haven't already
npm run build      # Vite will create a /docs folder

You should now see a docs folder in the repo (with index.html, assets, JS etc.).

=====

git add . =====
git commit -m "Configure Vite for GitHub Pages (docs outDir)"
git push

You already found this screen. Set:[edit | edit source]

Source: Deploy from a branch
Branch: main
Folder: /docs
Click Save

After the build finishes, your working URL stays:

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Now the page should render your built Vite experience, not just the bare HTML.

- git add = stage changes[edit | edit source]

git commit = save a labeled snapshot locally
git push = upload those snapshots to GitHub (and trigger Pages build)

Right now:

Your site is public and live.
It looks blank because your HTML has no visible UI and your TS bundle isn’t being served.
Fixing that = either: - add visible content (quick test), and/or - configure Vite to build into /docs and point GitHub Pages at /docs.

If you paste your current vite.config.ts here, I’ll rewrite it exactly for your setup so you can just drop it in and push.

User: well i have this for a build - eslint[edit | edit source]

well i have this for a build - eslint

Assistant: Alright Boss, let’s straighten a few things at once:[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss, let’s straighten a few things at once:

What git add . / git commit / git push actually mean
Why your GitHub Pages site is blank
How to fix the Vite config + /docs build issue so the site actually shows up

Inside your project folder:[edit | edit source]

git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push

Think of it like:

git add . → “Mark all the changed files to be included in my next save.” >
git commit -m "your message" → “Create a snapshot of my project with a label.” >
git push → “Send my saved snapshots to GitHub.” >

Any time you change code and want it reflected on the website, the flow is:

npm run build   # (for Vite)
git add .
git commit -m "Describe what you changed"
git push

Your Pages config screenshot says:[edit | edit source]

URL: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/
Source: main branch, folder: /docs

So GitHub expects your built site (HTML, JS, CSS) to live in a docs folder at the root of the repo.

But right now your repo has:

index.html at root
src, public, etc
No docs folder with the built files

That’s why nothing is rendering: GitHub is serving an empty /docs folder.

We need to:

Make Vite build into /docs
Run the build
Commit + push so GitHub sees it

In your screenshot, your vite.config.ts looks like:[edit | edit source]

build: {
  outDir: "dist",
  sourcemap: ...,
  target: "esnext",
  rollupOptions: ...
},
...
base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",
...
build: {
  outDir: 'docs'   // build into /docs instead of /dist
}

That’s why TypeScript/ESLint complains:

You can only have one build section. We just need to merge them and change outDir to 'docs'.

Replace your existing build sections with one clean block like this:[edit | edit source]

export default defineConfig({
  server: { host: "0.0.0.0", port: 8081, open: true },

  build: {
    outDir: "docs",  // 👈 important: GitHub Pages will use /docs
    sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
    target: "esnext",
    rollupOptions: {
      input: "./index.html",
    },
  },

  publicDir: "public",
  base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",  // 👈 correct for project URL /h2wdemo.github.io/
  // ...rest of your config
});

Make sure there is only one build: { ... } in that file.

In your project folder (C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002), run:[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This should create a docs folder at the repo root (alongside src, public, index.html, etc).

If you don’t see /docs after that, tell me what the terminal prints.

Once docs exists:[edit | edit source]

git add .
git commit -m "Configure Vite for GitHub Pages and build to docs"
git push

GitHub Pages will rebuild from main → /docs.

Give it a moment, then visit:

👉 bossleoio.github.io^[13]

You should now see your Vite XR experience instead of a blank page.

If you want, Boss, you can paste your full vite.config.ts (or send a screenshot like you did), and I’ll rewrite the exact final version you should use so you can just copy–paste and move on.

User: i literally have one build[edit | edit source]

i literally have one build

Assistant: Alright Boss, you’re very close.[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss, you’re very close. Let’s clean this up in two parts:

When you run:[edit | edit source]

git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push

you’re doing this:

git add . - “Track all the changes in this folder.” - The . means everything that changed (new files, edits, deletions) gets staged.
git commit -m "your message" - “Save a snapshot of the project on your computer with a label.” - The message is just a note like: "Build for GitHub Pages" or "Update scene".
git push - “Upload my local snapshots to GitHub.” - This is the step that actually updates what you see in the GitHub repo online and what GitHub Pages can use to build your site.

👉 Key idea: npm run build ONLY creates files locally (in your docs folder). Those files don’t reach GitHub (or your website) until you do:

git add .
git commit -m "Add build output"
git push

Right now:[edit | edit source]

Your repo is public ✅
GitHub Pages is set to build from main branch → /docs folder ✅

Your vite.config.ts is set to: `ts build: { outDir: "docs", ... }, base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/", ` ✅ That’s correct for a project at https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

The missing link is: the built files in /docshaven’t been pushed to GitHub (or weren’t built after you changed config).

1. Build the site[edit | edit source]npm run build

This should update the docsfolder (you’ll see HTML + assets in there).

Stage all changes (including docs/)

git add .Commit the changesgit commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages"Push to GitHubgit pushVerify on GitHub

Refresh your repo page on GitHub.

You should now see a docs` folder with files inside it.
In Settings → Pages, confirm: - Source: Deploy from a branch - Branch: main - Folder: /docs

Test the URL

Go to:

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Give it a minute after pushing, then refresh hard (Ctrl+F5).

From your screenshot, your vite.config.ts looks like:[edit | edit source]

build: {
  outDir: "docs",
  sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
  target: "esnext",
  rollupOptions: { input: "./index.html" },
},
publicDir: "public",
base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

That’s exactly what we want:

Build output → docs/
Entry → index.html at the root
Base path → /h2wdemo.github.io/ (matches your GitHub Pages URL path)

Every time you update the project and want the website to reflect it:[edit | edit source]

npm run build
git add .
git commit -m "Describe the change"
git push

That’s the full pipeline: Windsurf → Git → GitHub → GitHub Pages → Live site.

If you run these and the page is still blank, send me:

The terminal output of npm run build
A fresh screenshot of your repo file list (especially docs/)

I’ll debug it with you step-by-step.

User: nowi just have a black screen and i followed the directions from this page:[edit | edit source]

nowi just have a black screen and i followed the directions from this page: https://iwsdk.dev/guides/08-build-deploy.html

Assistant: Alright Boss, let’s untangle all of this and lock your site in.[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss, let’s untangle all of this and lock your site in.

When you run:[edit | edit source]

git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push

you’re doing three separate things:

git add . – “Pick which files to send” - . = everything that changed in this folder - You’re telling Git: “Track these updated files (including the new /docs build).”
git commit -m "your message" – “Save a snapshot” - This creates a saved version of your project with a label. - Example: git commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages" - This is still only on your computer at this point.
git push – “Upload that snapshot to GitHub” - Sends your commits from your laptop → GitHub repo (online). - GitHub Pages only sees what you’ve pushed, not what’s just on your machine.

So: npm run build updates files locally → git add + commit + push sync those changes to GitHub.

From your screenshots:[edit | edit source]

Repo: h2wdemo.github.io
You now have a docs/ folder locally and in the repo.
vite.config.ts shows:

build: {
  outDir: "docs",
  ...
},
base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

GitHub Pages is configured to build from: Branch: gh-pages or main (you’ve flipped this a few times) Folder: /docs

The blank page usually means one of these:

GitHub Pages is pointing at a branch/folder that doesn’t contain your built site, or
The built site is there, but the JS can’t load (wrong paths / wrong base), so you see a black/empty screen.

Let’s make this simple and stable.

We’ll do it the “manual but clear” way, perfect for where you’re at.[edit | edit source]

You already did this and it looks right:[edit | edit source]

build: {
  outDir: "docs",
  ...
},
base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",

Leave that as-is.

In Windsurf terminal (in your h2wdemo002 folder):[edit | edit source]

npm run build

This should:

Update / create files inside docs/
You should see HTML + JS/CSS assets in that folder

If docs doesn’t change, we have a build issue. But based on your screenshot, it’s there.

Still in your project folder:[edit | edit source]

git add docs vite.config.ts index.html
git commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages"
git push

After this, refresh your repo on GitHub. You should see:

docs/ folder with built files (assets, index.html, etc.)
Updated commit history

In your GitHub repo → Settings → Pages:[edit | edit source]

Source: Deploy from a branch
Branch: main
Folder: /docs
Click Save

Ignore gh-pages branch for now. You don’t need it with this setup.

At the top of that page, it should say your site is live at:

👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Give it a moment, then refresh that URL.

Once the above is correct:[edit | edit source]

If the page loads but is black: - Open DevTools → Console in your browser. - If there are errors like “failed to load /src/index.ts” or 404s, that means GitHub is serving the wrong file set (usually because Pages isn’t using /docs correctly, or npm run build output isn’t pushed). - If there are no errors, it might actually be running the WebXR scene but just starting with an empty scene/camera (that’s okay for now while you’re testing).

But the first priority is:

✅ built files in /docs in GitHub
✅ Pages using main + /docs

Once that’s solid, we can debug why the scene is visually black.

Run this in order:[edit | edit source]

npm run build
git add docs vite.config.ts index.html
git commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages"
git push
In GitHub: - Settings → Pages → main + /docs → Save
Visit: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

If you do that and still get a black screen, tell me:

What you see in DevTools → Console (errors)
And I’ll walk you through the exact fix based on that.

User: still same issue[edit | edit source]

still same issue

Assistant: Alright Boss, let’s untangle all of this cleanly.[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss, let’s untangle all of this cleanly.

Think of Git like a 3-step publishing pipeline:[edit | edit source]

git add . > - . means “everything that changed in this folder”. - Nothing is uploaded yet, you’re just staging the changes.
git commit -m "your message" > - This creates a version of your code (a checkpoint) locally on your machine. - Still not on GitHub yet.
git push > - This is what syncs your local work → remote repo. - If you don’t push, GitHub (and GitHub Pages) never see your new files.

So when you run npm run build, it only updates files on your computer (like your /docs folder). To make GitHub Pages use that new build, you must:

npm run build          # creates/updates /docs
git add .
git commit -m "Build for GitHub Pages"
git push               # uploads /docs + config changes

Only after the push will you see /docs and new files in the GitHub repo UI.

From your screenshots:[edit | edit source]

Repo: h2wdemo.github.io
Vite config: - outDir: "docs" ✅ - base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/" ✅
GitHub Pages: - Source: gh-pages branch, folder /docs ✅ (as long as gh-pages has a docs folder)

The black screen + IWSDK ASCII art in DevTools tells me:

Your built JS is loading and running on the page.
The console errors you’re seeing: - Failed to load resource: webxr.png 404 → missing PNG asset, not fatal. - Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received → usually a browser extension, you can ignore. - Uncaught (in promise) Event → WebXR session request failing (e.g., device not supported or user gesture requirement). That’s common with XR demos in a regular desktop tab.

So the blank screen is most likely:

Just the XR canvas with a black clear color – No visible UI fallback, so it feels “broken” even though it’s running.
Or the build you just ran isn’t the one Pages is serving – Because you haven’t pushed the latest /docs to the branch Pages is using.

Let’s lock in a simple, repeatable flow.[edit | edit source]

Simplest for now:[edit | edit source]

In GitHub → repo → Settings → Pages
Set: - Source: Deploy from a branch - Branch: main - Folder: /docs

So Pages will serve from: 👉 main branch → /docs directory.

From your project folder (C:\Users\Marlaina\h2wdemo002):[edit | edit source]

npm run build          # 1) generates /docs (static site)
git add .
git commit -m "Update build for GitHub Pages"
git push               # 2) uploads /docs and code to GitHub main

After the push:

GitHub sees updated /docs.
GitHub Pages rebuilds the site.
Your public URL stays: 👉 https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/

Give it a minute, then refresh with Ctrl+F5 (hard reload).

Do these to confirm everything is wired correctly:[edit | edit source]

On GitHub (repo main branch): - You should see a docs/ folder with a bunch of built HTML/JS/CSS files inside.
On your local machine in Windsurf: - npm run build finishes without errors.
In the browser at your Pages URL: - Open DevTools → Network tab → refresh. - You should see JS/CSS files loading from /h2wdemo.github.io/..., status 200.

If you want a visual confirmation that the page is actually loading, add something obvious to index.html above the XR canvas, like:

<body style="margin: 0;">
  <h1 style="position: absolute; z-index: 10; color: white;">H2W Demo Loaded</h1>
  <div id="scene-container"></div>
  <script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>
</body>

If you see the “H2W Demo Loaded” text on GitHub Pages, the site is working; any remaining issues are inside the XR scene, not deployment.

If you send me:

A fresh screenshot of your repo root on GitHub (showing whether /docs exists), and
The full GitHub Pages settings panel (source/branch/folder),

I can tell you exactly what one or two switches to flip to make it fully stable.

User: i am still running into issues[edit | edit source]

i am still running into issues

Assistant: Alright Boss, now we’re in real debugging mode.[edit | edit source]

Alright Boss, now we’re in real debugging mode. Let me untangle both things you asked:

What git add, git commit, git push actually mean
Why your GitHub Pages build is blank + how to fix the 404 error

Think of your project like a Notion doc with version history:[edit | edit source]

git add . >
git commit -m "your message" >
git push >

So:

npm run build      # builds /docs
git add .          # stage changes (including new build files)
git commit -m "Describe what changed"
git push           # sync to GitHub -> Pages redeploys

The build command does NOT sync by itself — Git only sees the new /docs files after add + commit + push.

Your DevTools console shows:[edit | edit source]

But your repo structure (screenshot) shows:

Files live under: h2wdemo.github.io/docs/textures/webxr.png

Your site URL is:

So the correct texture URL should effectively be:

But your code (in src/index.ts) is telling the browser to load from the root of the domain:

webxr: {
  url: "/textures/webxr.png",   // 👈 leading slash = WRONG for GitHub Pages
  ...
}

That leading / means:

GitHub Pages project sites always live under a subpath (/h2wdemo.github.io/), so root paths break.

Same story for audio:

chimeSound: {
  url: "/audio/chime.mp3",      // also root-relative
}

In Windsurf, open `src/index.ts` and change only the URLs in your assets manifest.[edit | edit source]

=====

const assets: AssetManifest = { =====
  chimeSound: {
    url: "/audio/chime.mp3",
    type: AssetType.Audio,
    priority: "background",
  },
  webxr: {
    url: "/textures/webxr.png",
    type: AssetType.Texture,
    priority: "critical",
  },
};

Remove the leading / so they’re relative paths:[edit | edit source]

const assets: AssetManifest = {
  chimeSound: {
    url: "audio/chime.mp3",
    type: AssetType.Audio,
    priority: "background",
  },
  webxr: {
    url: "textures/webxr.png",
    type: AssetType.Texture,
    priority: "critical",
  },
};

Why this works:

Your build folder /docs already contains audio/… and textures/…
Relative paths say: “look next to this index.html inside the same built folder,” so they correctly resolve to: https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/webxr.png

Your vite.config.ts already has:

base: "/h2wdemo.github.io/",
build: {
  outDir: "docs",
  ...
}

That’s correct for a project site under /h2wdemo.github.io/.

In your Windsurf terminal (inside h2wdemo002 folder):[edit | edit source]

npm run build
git status               # just to see what changed
git add .
git commit -m "Fix asset URLs for GitHub Pages"
git push

Then:

Go to your repo’s Settings → Pages
Confirm: - Source: Deploy from a branch - Branch: main and folder: /docs
Wait for Pages to redeploy (you’ll see a green check + timestamp).

Visit:

On Chrome/Edge:[edit | edit source]

Press F12 or
Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on Mac) or
Right-click → Inspect

Then:

Use the Console tab to see errors
If the fix worked, the 404 /textures/webxr.png error should disappear

If you paste the next console screenshot after this change, I can sanity-check the last 1–2 issues and make sure your WebXR world actually renders instead of sitting on a blank screen.

User: how to create a github.io[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss, here’s the clean, no-fluff roadmap to get your GitHub Pages site github.io live.[edit | edit source]

(Simple, clear, and beginner-friendly)[edit | edit source]

If you already have one, you’re good.[edit | edit source]

This is where most people mess up.[edit | edit source]

Example:[edit | edit source]

You only need one file to start:[edit | edit source]

This is your home page.[edit | edit source]

####[edit | edit source]

1. Click Add file → Upload files[edit | edit source]

Once the repo is created + files added, GitHub instantly deploys.[edit | edit source]

If it doesn’t load yet, give it 1–3 minutes.[edit | edit source]

Boss, once you have the basics, here’s how you level up:[edit | edit source]

You can connect:[edit | edit source]

GitHub has built-in Jekyll themes that make your site look clean and professional.[edit | edit source]

Add pages like:[edit | edit source]

1. Repo → Your folder[edit | edit source]

User: thisi is what i see at step 1[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss, perfect — you’re exactly where you need to be.[edit | edit source]

###[edit | edit source]

Do not add:[edit | edit source]

Choose Public (easier for now).[edit | edit source]

Once you press that button, GitHub will take you to a page that shows something like:[edit | edit source]

Tell me the exact repo name you choose and I’ll give you the exact commands to paste into your Windsurf terminal, line by line.[edit | edit source]

User: for step 1, like this?[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss — YES.[edit | edit source]

Your repo name must match exactly:[edit | edit source]

###[edit | edit source]

GitHub will redirect you and show instructions like:[edit | edit source]

Open your Windsurf terminal inside your project folder.[edit | edit source]

👉 h2wdemo.github.io[2][edit | edit source]

User: for step 2, this is the current project and path[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Perfect, Boss — you’re in the exact right place.[edit | edit source]

Since your GitHub repo is:[edit | edit source]

###[edit | edit source]

Your site will go live here:[edit | edit source]

User:[edit | edit source]

Assistant: Boss, here’s what’s happening — and what you need to do next.[edit | edit source]

GitHub is asking you to authorize Git for the bossleoio account.[edit | edit source]
