So I’ve made a git repo for my site and still is not showing up as it shows up with a error 404. And the documentations is confusing to me some what. Trying to deploy it on github pages. ---

Can you share link to your repo? ---

In github actions log I see: ```auto > Error: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'themes/DeepThought' in .gitmodules > Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128 ``` so, for the first view the issue is your way to add theme as a git module, you might see an example how to do it in zola repo: [themes/.gitmodules at 02847a36eb3141dba011c585b8a84d4276816400 · getzola/themes · GitHub](https://github.com/getzola/themes/blob/02847a36eb3141dba011c585b8a84d4276816400/.gitmodules#L89) Also I highly recommend to delete personal access token you had in mail.yml, it’s unsecure to have it in git history ---

So should I keep the repo private? ---

it’s up to you, but make sure you have the key deleted, otherwise someone could use it ---

how can I put my tokens the right way and hiding it while having the repo public? ---
