🔍 Potential Issues to Check

GitHub Pages Settings

1. Go to: https://github.com/deepanshutiwari27/nextnode-learning/settings/pages
2. Verify "Source" is set to "GitHub Actions" (not a branch)
3. Check if there are any error messages

GitHub Actions Status

1. Go to: https://github.com/deepanshutiwari27/nextnode-learning/actions
2. Check if the workflow has run
3. Verify it completed successfully (green checkmark)
4. Check for any error messages in the workflow logs

Site URL

• Expected: https://deepanshutiwari27.github.io/nextnode-learning/
• If 404, wait a few minutes after enabling GitHub Pages
• Clear browser cache if needed

🚀 Deployment Steps Completed
