### Choosing a publishing source
|
|
|
|
Before you configure a publishing source, make sure the branch{% if currentVersion ver_lt "enterprise-server@2.23" %} or folder{% endif %} you want to use as your publishing source already exists in your repository.{% if currentVersion ver_lt "enterprise-server@2.23" %} For example, before you can publish your project site from the `/docs` folder on the `master` branch of your repository, you or a collaborator must create a `/docs` folder on the default `master` branch of your repository.{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.pages.navigate-site-repo %}
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings %}
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.22" %}
|
|
3. Under "{% data variables.product.prodname_pages %}", use the **None** or **Branch** drop-down menu and select a publishing source.
|
|

|
|
4. Optionally, use the drop-down menu to select a folder for your publishing source.
|
|

|
|
5. Click **Save**.
|
|

|
|
{% else %}
|
|
3. Under "{% data variables.product.prodname_pages %}", use the **Source** drop-down menu and select a publishing source.
|
|

|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting publishing problems with your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.pages.admin-must-push %}
|
|
|
|
If you choose the `docs` folder on {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.22" %}any{% else %}the `master`{% endif %} branch as your publishing source, then later remove the `/docs` folder from that branch in your repository, your site won't build and you'll get a page build error message for a missing `/docs` folder. For more information, see "[Troubleshooting Jekyll build errors for {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} sites](/articles/troubleshooting-jekyll-build-errors-for-github-pages-sites#missing-docs-folder)."
