What kind of files I can use in GitHub Pages?

Question

I put yaml file on GitHub Pages, but I don't find that yaml file. I'll change file's extension (to txt), and I want to know what kind of files I can use? Any white list or document exist?

This is my trial and errors.

Edited: 2014-11-12 GitHub pages does not show a file which name starts with period e.g. .example.yml.

Answer 1

This is due to the fact that GH pages tries to manage your site as a Jekyll site. Then ignoring some file name patterns.

If you want all your files to be copied just add an empty file named .nojekyll at the root of your site.
