I am using Documenter for the second time. On the first package everything went fine. This time I got as far as populating the gh-pages branch correctly, but when I install the badge in README.md the link returns a 404.

Is there something obvious that I could have one wrong. I have typed and retyped

[https://myname.github.io/pkgname.jl/stable](https://myname.github.io/pkgname.jl/stable)  
several times.

I’m doing this is 1.4.1 and updated Documenter when I installed 1.4.1 today.

Do you have a link to the repo?

It is very much under development.

Thanks. Since you do not have any releases of the package (what `stable` links to) you have to use the in-development URL for the badge: [Home · SIAMFANLEquations.jl](https://ctkelley.github.io/SIAMFANLEquations.jl/dev/)

You can look at `Documenter`’s README, which have both the `stable` and `dev` links: [https://github.com/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl)

Wow! Thanks.

I did not have to do that for the other one  
[https://github.com/ctkelley/ScalarEquations.jl](https://github.com/ctkelley/ScalarEquations.jl)  
Is that because I has a dev branch?

I actually don’t know why that is, but somehow you have a `stable` folder here: [https://github.com/ctkelley/ScalarEquations.jl/tree/gh-pages](https://github.com/ctkelley/ScalarEquations.jl/tree/gh-pages)

Thanks. If I want a stable folder after I make the dev branch, could I simply rename the dev folder?
