Pushed to Github Pages - CSS and JS file paths not working

Hi!

I am trying to get a simple static project up on Github Pages and ran into an issue. I coded this project in Treehouse Workspaces and all worked fine. I downloaded the project files and pushed to github without any changes and now the style and JS file paths seem to be broken. I used relative file paths and I'm on Linux so no case sensitive issues. Any thoughts?

Here is the link to my repo - https://github.com/kendallstrautman/r.neil

to follow up, I'm curious if it is the extra root ../ or if I even need ../ since I am currently in the main folder and just need to navigate down to styles/styles.css

Hey! No, I meant without going back a couple of directories since your index.html is at the root of the project. But you had already figured this out yourself, as you stated in your previous comment. Did it work?

it did! I simply had to switch ../../styles/styles.css to styles/styles.css

Thanks for the help!

Hey!

Yes that would've been my guess as well. Why don't you try navigating to styles or scripts directly, see how it goes.

Good luck!

Thanks! by navigating to them directly do you mean using an absolute path?
