I have a problem with GitHub Pages personal site, which I want to create from this template: portfolYOU by YoussefRaafatNasry

I was able to figure out how to test the site locally with Jekyll and everything worked great. After I tried to upload the project to GitHub.

At first I forgot to edit the _config.yml file, the site worked on the main link, but transitions to all pages and all interactive elements worked with an error.

After editing the _config.yml file, loading the site on GitHub became impossible - I observe an error in GitHub Actions (GitHub use it by itself), the cause of which I cannot determine.

I ask you to help understand the deployment of this project and fix this problem.

If it will be useful, a link to my test GitHub:

It seems the issue is with your theme, the theme you want to use is not a "supported theme" so it must be added via remote_theme.

In your config you have your sites repo listed as the remote theme, but there is no theme info in your repo. Your post links the theme you want to use -- to use it the remote theme in the config should be as follows:

remote_theme:  YoussefRaafatNasry/portfolYOU

Milord, Thank you! Its works perfect! And I realize that this might be out of scope for my original question, but could you please guide me on how I can create my own theme based on this one? Or maybe you know about the existence of guides on this topic. I would like to slightly change the content of the pages, and this was the ultimate dream of mine.
Sure, you have two options that you could choose from based on your personal preferences. You can fork the theme you are currently using and update the remote_theme to point to your fork repository. Then make your edits there. Option 2 would be to put them theme right in your site repo and remove the remote_theme (and theme) tags from the config. Then you can edit them in place there.
