How can I get category page hyperlinks of my Jekyll website hosted on GitHub working?

For a Jeykll website hosted on GitHub I created a custom solution (no Jeykll plugin) to display all post links of a category on a page *. I use the setup of GitHub pages for local Jekyll builds and build with bundle exec jekyll serve locally. If visit http://127.0.0.1:4000 and push one of the hyper-link buttons Embedded, Hardware or Software in the left side-bar below Pattern Categories the post links are shown like expected.

However if I visit the website hosted on GitHub I get an "404 File not found" error. From the past I can remember that this could relate to a different handling of Jekylls permalinks in local and GitHub Pages builds. But I cannot remember in detail.

It would be great if someone could help me out.

* Sitenote: Right now instead of listing only the post links for a single category the post links of all categories are listed section wise. But that does not matter w.r.t. to this question.

The problem is that the website isn't located at the root level, so you need to use in _config.yml the base url:

baseurl: /design-pattern-references

Then make use of that setting generating full paths, e.g.: in _layouts/index.html

 <a href="{{ post.url | absolute_url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
