CSS not loading correctly on Jekyll (GitHub) - css

Question

My github page's css is being generated as
http://name.github.io/project/assets/css/main.css, but in the index.html it points to http://name.github.io/assets/css/main.css
I am using Jekyll with Gulp and SASS. I know this would work fine on a real .com domain but how do I make it correct on GitHub Pages?
My gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var prefix = require('gulp-autoprefixer');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var cp = require('child_process');
var jade = require('gulp-jade');
var messages = {
jekyllBuild: '<span style="color: grey">Running:</span> $ jekyll build'
};
/**
* Build the Jekyll Site
*/
gulp.task('jekyll-build', function (done) {
browserSync.notify(messages.jekyllBuild);
return cp.spawn('jekyll.bat', ['build'], {stdio: 'inherit'})
.on('close', done);
});
/**
* Rebuild Jekyll & do page reload
*/
gulp.task('jekyll-rebuild', ['jekyll-build'], function () {
browserSync.reload();
});
/**
* Wait for jekyll-build, then launch the Server
*/
gulp.task('browser-sync', ['sass', 'jekyll-build'], function() {
browserSync({
server: {
baseDir: '_site'
}
});
});
/**
* Compile files from _scss into both _site/css (for live injecting) and site (for future jekyll builds)
*/
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp.src('assets/css/main.scss')
.pipe(sass({
includePaths: ['css'],
onError: browserSync.notify
}))
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(prefix(['last 15 versions', '> 1%', 'ie 8', 'ie 7'], { cascade: true }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('_site/assets/css'))
.pipe(browserSync.reload({stream:true}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'));
});
/*
* trying to Gulp stuff
*/
gulp.task('jade', function() {
return gulp.src('_jadefiles/*.jade')
.pipe(jade())
.pipe(gulp.dest('_includes'));
})
/**
* Watch scss files for changes & recompile
* Watch html/md files, run jekyll & reload BrowserSync
*/
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulp.watch('assets/css/**', ['sass']);
gulp.watch('assets/js/**', ['jekyll-rebuild']);
gulp.watch(['index.html', '_layouts/*.html', '_includes/*'], ['jekyll-rebuild']);
gulp.watch(['assets/js/**'], ['jekyll-rebuild']);
gulp.watch('_jadefiles/*.jade', ['jade']);
});
/**
* Default task, running just `gulp` will compile the sass,
* compile the jekyll site, launch BrowserSync & watch files.
*/
gulp.task('default', ['browser-sync', 'watch']);
The _site folder is where all the generated HTML and CSS is. The only solution I can think of is moving the contents from the _site folder to the root of my git repo and deleting everything else that was there before.
In my _config.yml, the basedir is even set to baseurl: github-project-name but still doesn't load.

Answer 1

In _config.yml, set :
baseurl: /project
Then call your assets with :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ "/assets/css/main.css, " | prepend: site.baseurl }}">
