That repo seems to have been created less than an hour ago.
Give Google a little time to parse the new repos, and it should show up.
Note that it is referenced by GitHub search already:

As the OP used the Webmaster Tools to submit its URL, the repo is now indexed in Google.
Update 2019: the section "Enabling GitHub Pages to publish your site from master or gh-pages" is now (since 2014) more precise:
To select
masterorgh-pagesas your publishing source, you must have the branch present in your repository.
If you don't have amasterorgh-pagesbranch, you can create them and then return to source settings to change your publishing source.
Once the correct branch is created/populated, and selected as the publishing source, the Google indexing appears to be quick.
Update 2025, as noted by James in the comments:
- The older URL submission tool has been deprecated. Now, to submit a URL (or to speed up indexing), you must use Google Search Console.
Note that you can only verify a domain or a site that you control. For GitHub repositories, this isn’t directly possible unless you have a GitHub Pages site with a custom domain. - You don't have to use the
masterbranch anymore as a publication source.
As I mentioned in 2020, you can use any branch.
This is how I managed to get at least my github pages-page to be found on Google:
- go to google search console https://search.google.com/search-console/
- add new "property" with "URL prefix" as suggested
- add the meta tag on your github-pages site (html-head) as described, looks like
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="..."> - paste your page URL to the "search bar" on the top of the search console and press
<Enter>. Important: use full path to page, including the .html page, e.g.https://<user>.github.io/<your repo>/demo/index.html - Click on "request indexing"
I first only did points 1-3 with the URL https://<user>.github.io/<my-repo>/demo/ and the page still did not show up after waiting for a month. However after doing points (4) and (5) my github-pages site immediately showed up in the Google search results.
edit: one day later also the github repository showed up on Google search (but maybe only because I link the original repository in my github-pages site).
