I’m trying to publish a static webpage to [cadojo.github.io](http://cadojo.github.io) with `Franklin.jl` (my username is `cadojo` on GitHub).

When I use `Franklin.serve()`, the webpage loads as expected:

However, when I check the version published at [cadojo.github.io](http://cadojo.github.io), the page doesn’t seem to actually be rendered. There are still `@def` commands visible at the top of the page:

I’ve double checked that I am indeed publishing to the `gh-pages` branch, and I don’t believe I’ve modified the `deploy.yml` file at all. I’m trying to use the `just-the-docs` theme. Does anyone know the issue?

This has been solved! As Fredrik Ekre pointed out in the Julia Slack, my repo was publishing from the `main` branch, **not** the `gh-pages` branch as is required.

It used to be the case that GitHub picked up the `gh-pages` automatically but that seems to no longer be the case; there’s an open issue to clarify this in the Franklin docs 🙂
