The config.yml file is a configuration file for GitHub Pages sites. It is used to specify the name of the site, the theme, and other settings. The file is located in the root directory of your GitHub Pages repository.

If you are using the default GitHub Pages setup, the config.yml file will be created for you automatically. However, if you have created your own GitHub Pages site, you may need to create the file manually.

To create the config.yml file, open a text editor and create a new file called config.yml. Then, add the following content to the file:

name: My Site
theme: minima
This will create a simple GitHub Pages site with the minima theme.

Once you have created the config.yml file, you can commit it to your repository and push it to GitHub. GitHub Pages will then use the file to configure your site.

Here are the steps on how to find the config.yml file:

Go to your GitHub Pages repository.
Click on the Code tab.
In the Files section, look for the config.yml file.
If you cannot find the config.yml file, you can create it manually by following the instructions above.

If your repository does not already include an environment called github-pages, the environment will be created automatically. We recommend that you add a deployment protection rule so that only the default branch can deploy to this environment. For more information, see Managing environments for deployment. ... A CNAME file in your repository file does not automatically add or remove a custom domain. Instead, you must configure the custom domain through your repository settings or through the API.

3. Configuring GitHub pages to deploy your website - DEV Community
May 31, 2022 - Many tutorials you'll find on the internet use the branch name gh-pages. You can enter the subdomain www.<your-domain-name>.<domain-name-ending> in the custom domain area. www.testsite.net, for example. Make sure HTTPS is enabled on your domain to offer a layer of encryption that prevents tampering with traffic to your site. Your website will only be served via HTTPS if this is enforced. More details can be found here. Okay, we're finished with the GitHub configuration.
