http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12060903/github-error-repository-not-found-when-installing-octopress assuming you have installed ruby 1.9.3 create repo on github as username.github.com cd your_working_dir rake install / rake install['theme_name'] rake setup_github_pages this will ask to write repo name. Do not add ".git" e.g. git@github.com:username/username.github.com this is correct now add your remote repo, check available repo using git remote -v octopress git://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (fetch) octopress git://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (push) add your repo git remote add origin git@github.com:username/username.github.com.git Rename branch master to source, because github pages publishes only source branch git branch master git branch -m master source git branch source time to preview rake preview open browser and goto localhost:4000 if all is fine then push to github rake generate git add . git commit -m "first blog" git push origin source rake deploy
