Body

My site https://erc1155.portonvictor.org on GitHub pages misfunctions. I want t fix it. But I forgot which repository provides Pages for it.

Please, help me to find the repo.

I tried search on GitHub of G-6ZX3GEN0J8 from the site, but weirdly, nothing was found.

I am confused why I can't find the site:

 curl -kv -o/dev/null https://erc1155.portonvictor.org/

confirms that server: GitHub.com.

you only have one repo that has the deployed Pages

https://github.com/vporton/bequest-safe-app-deployed

I got it from the returned Public API, only one has_pages returns true, this is it

is that it or still not ? because I don't want to click the link you provided

if it's not, then it's not your deployed Page

[vporton]

No, it isn't the correct repo.

Why then erc1155.portonvictor.org return server: GitHub.com in HTTP headers, if it isn't deployed page?

[jfullstackdev]

maybe a misconfig DNS pointing to GitHub ?

[vporton]

maybe a misconfig DNS pointing to GitHub ?

If it is misconfig, why does it show the correct site? (but with wrong HTTPS settings)

[Aqib121201]

Check the GitHub account that owns the domain DNS entry might point to a username or organization pages site so look for a repo named username.github.io or organization.github.io in that account
Search for a CNAME file in repositories of the likely owner use GitHub search for filename CNAME and look inside results for the domain erc1155.portonvictor.org

Open the Pages settings for repositories you own or manage in the repository settings under Pages the Custom domain field shows the domain used

If you have access to the organization settings check organization level Pages configuration sometimes the site is published from a docs folder on a project repo rather than a repo named username.github.io

If you do not control the domain use a DNS lookup to see the configured record a CNAME pointing to username.github.io or a GitHub Pages IP will confirm it is hosted by GitHub Pages

If you still cannot find it ask a site collaborator or check any old deploy scripts or CI workflows in repos for a step that sets a custom domain or writes a CNAME file

If you want I can write the exact GitHub search query and the curl command to inspect the DNS response just tell me if you can run commands

if you find this solution helpfull upvote this and please follow me it boost my confidence

I already did

$ dig erc1155.portonvictor.org
...
erc1155.portonvictor.org. 3600	IN	CNAME	vporton.github.io.
...

Open the Pages settings for repositories you own or manage in the repository settings under Pages the Custom domain field shows the domain used

The problem is that I have many repositories and it would be to cumbersome to check each manually.

Yes, please.

If you’ve forgotten which repository is serving your GitHub Pages site, here are a few ways to track it down:

Check your GitHub Pages settings – Go to GitHub Pages settings
in your account. It lists the repo currently linked to your custom domain.

Search your repos – Look through your repositories for one that has a gh-pages branch or a Pages configuration under Settings → Pages.

Check the DNS setup – Since your custom domain points to GitHub, the repo must have that domain configured in a CNAME file. Search your repos for a file named CNAME containing erc1155.portonvictor.org.

If none of these help, and you have many repositories, you could also contact GitHub Support
— they can look up which repo is linked to that domain.

✅ How to find which repo is serving your Pages site (erc1155.portonvictor.org)

Search your repos for the CNAME file
Go to your GitHub profile and in the search bar type:

filename:CNAME erc1155.portonvictor.org

This will show any repo that has that domain linked to it.

Check your GitHub Pages settings

Open your repositories one by one.

Go to Settings → Pages.

If that repo is serving Pages, it will show the published branch and (if set) your custom domain.

If no repo shows up
That means the repo might have been renamed, made private, or deleted, but your domain is still pointing to GitHub. In that case:

Create a new repo (for example erc1155-site).

Add a file named CNAME in the repo root with the line:

erc1155.portonvictor.org

Enable GitHub Pages in Settings → Pages.

Deploy your new site.

Once you do this, GitHub will recognize your domain and start serving from the new repo.
