github not showing correct css file-CodePudding

I know there are many people asked this question but I debugged for an hour and still stuck here... The file structure in my github repo is

--root
index.html
resume.css
--folder assets
    resume.css

(yes I made two identical css file just in case one of them works but none of them works...) I tried to reference css file as

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resume.css" media="all" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/resume.css" media="all" />

But again none of them works.. When I download the entire github repo as a .zip file on my computer and unzipp it, the website can display normally. Is it something else I could do?

CodePudding user response：

Can you check where you placed the <link> tag? It should be inside the <head> tag

CodePudding user response：

    <head>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resume.css" media="all" />
    or
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/resume.css" media="all" />
