GitHub Pages Precedence -

say have following repositories on github:

caffinatedmonkey (user) │ ├── caffinatedmonkey.github.io │   └── tree │       └── master │           └── foo │               └── index.html └── foo     └── tree         ├── master         └── gh-pages             └── index.html 

if go caffinatedmonkey.github.io/foo, page shown? page takes precedence, project page, https://github.com/caffinatedmonkey/foo/tree/gh-pages/index.html or user page, https://github.com/caffinatedmonkey/caffinatedmonkey.github.io/tree/master/foo/index.html?

user pages "take precedence", not in per url basis. if urls don't collide, having user page disables project pages.

in order work arround can have gh-pages branch of project page set submodule of user.github.io repo.

cd user.github.io git submodule add -b gh-pages https://github.com/user/project.git git submodule update git commit -m 'added submodule project' git push
