3,855 PointsI pushed my website to GitHub pages and now my CSS styles no longer work.
My CSS stylesheet works fine on my local computer, but now that I pushed it to GitHub pages, the styles don't show up. I can see the stylesheet in the GitHub repository, but I can't tell why it is not working. Does the path somehow change. This is what I have in my index.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css"/>

Treehouse TeacherYour CSS folder is in all uppercase. Your files link to css in lower case. File paths are case sensitive.

56,413 PointsFile names and paths are case-sensitive in Unix/Linux but not Windows. It's something to keep in mind if you're editing your sites on a Windows PC because the hosts you deploy the actual site to are almost always Linux systems.

3,855 PointsThank you Jennifer! That didn't even occur to me since it's not that way everywhere.
Thanks Seth. That's good info to know. I'm definitely a Windows person.

Treehouse TeacherI can't see any code posted here. Make sure you're using relative paths for the links to your css.
