I managed to create a temporary website for judsonbooks.org on GitHub, https://twjudson.github.io/index.html.  One problem though.  The html versions of AATA and The Ordinary Differential Equations Project are not finding the CSS files.  Any idea how to fix this?

I'm short on time to directly help with Tom's question, but I thought I'd mention here that I posted a fresh HTML build on PCC math's github.io:
Locally, we will probably just use this location moving forward. The fork hasn't diverged from Tom's, but maybe someday it might.

Tom, you need to add an empty file titled ".nojekyll" in this case.  The CLI does that for you if you pretext deploy.  The problem is that we use "_static" to hold the css and js, and underscore tells jekyll to ignore those files when building.

Any other ideas?   Adding  ".nojekyll”  did not seem to work.

You might need to trigger a rebuild, which might mean committing and pushing another file?  As in make a trivial change to another file and push it.

I am pretty sure you need to place the .nojekyll file at the root of the repository, not in a subdirectory. Either the whole project is jekyll based or it is not.

Success!  .nojekyll needs to be in the root.  Many Thanks!
