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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=81 "Edit section: You’re loading your script like this:") 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.

Compile your TypeScript → JavaScript manually OR generate a simple JS test file. 2. Update your script tag to something like: 1. 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=84 "Edit section: (Best for Vite, XR, WebXR, Mixed Reality apps)") ##### In your terminal:[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=85 "Edit section: In your terminal:") npm run build This generates a /dist folder containing the real website. ##### In GitHub → Repository → Settings → Pages:[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=86 "Edit section: In GitHub → Repository → Settings → Pages:") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=87 "Edit section: Make sure /dist is NOT in .gitignore.")

Your GitHub Pages folder selector only shows `/root` and `/docs` because GitHub only shows folders that exist in your repo 5. 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=138 "Edit section: Right now, you have:") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=139 "Edit section: Replace your whole build: section with this:") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=140 "Edit section: Inside your Windsurf terminal:") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=141 "Edit section: GitHub does NOT automatically sync your build output.") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=142 "Edit section: Now that /docs is in the repo:") 1.

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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=145 "Edit section: 👉 Validate your entire Vite config?") 👉 Rewrite a working template? 👉 Fix the pathing for XR assets? 👉 Set up multi-page routing?

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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=211 "Edit section: 5. Why It Keeps Breaking") 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](https://bossleoio.github.io/textures/webxr.png) (404) Instead of: ✅ [https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/webxr.png](https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/textures/webxr.png) This is the source of: ##### • Missing assets[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=212 "Edit section: • Missing assets") ##### • Black screen[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=213 "Edit section: • Black screen") ##### • 404 errors[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=214 "Edit section: • 404 errors") ##### • Uncaught event[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=215 "Edit section: • Uncaught event") ##### • World.create never resolving[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=216 "Edit section: • World.create never resolving") ##### • Message port closed[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=217 "Edit section: • Message port closed") And this issue continues even after Vite config changes because IWSDK injects its own loader paths. ### 6.

GitHub Pages is serving something, but there’s basically no content to show. #### Let’s give your site an actual homepage.[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=265 "Edit section: Let’s give your site an actual homepage.") ##### 1.

I’ll use this space to host prototypes, links, and demos for my immersive projects.
1. Save the file. ##### In the Windsurf terminal (in the same folder):[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=267 "Edit section: In the Windsurf terminal (in the same folder):") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=268 "Edit section: Go to:") 👉 [https://bossleoio.github.io/h2wdemo.github.io/](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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=269 "Edit section: Anytime you change your website:") 1.

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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=270 "Edit section: User: in the step two the /dist is not showing") in the step two the /dist is not showing ### Assistant: Love where you’re at with this, Boss.[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=271 "Edit section: Assistant: Love where you’re at with this, Boss.") Love where you’re at with this, Boss. Let’s untangle three things: 1. What git add / commit / push actually mean 2. Whether your GitHub site is live + public 3. 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=272 "Edit section: From your screenshot, yes:") 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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=273 "Edit section: Look at your index.html:") Two key things: 1. 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. 2. 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/](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](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=274 "Edit section: Let’s first just prove the site updates correctly.") ##### Change your body in index.html to:[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/691ff205-cea0-8003-bde5-f449b081a1e1&action=edit§ion=275 "Edit section: Change your body in index.html to:")
