How do I set up index.html as top level page for my Github Pages page?

Question

I created a plain static website and deployed it on username.github.io However, whenever I try to access the website, I have to use the direct path to my HTML index.html file to see the site.

Is it possible to set username.github.io to display the index file? Go directly to username.github.io vs username.github.io/index?

thanks in advance

Instead of simply saying "it doesn't work", please provide a minimal reproducible example and a link to an example repo. — Kevin Workman

So, I got it to work, thank you for looking into helping. I think there was a clash between my DNS provider. I have resolved it since by fixing the DNS configurations. — a_g

Create a new repo, name it <username>.github.io.
Add an index.html file.

Documentation available here.

The official documentation is quite clear

cd username.github.io echo "My Page" > index.html git add index.html git commit -a -m "First pages commit" git push origin master

Note that since Dec. 2016, a README would be enough if you do't have an index.html file.
