How to findout more about 404 error from Github pages?

Question

I have created a simple web page on GitHub and here is the url. I am now using fiddler to load it, and every time I load the page, I get a 404 error as well as a successful connection and download of the page, and I do not know why I get the 404 error. When I am logged into GitHub, and click on the clone button of my repo, the url is: https://github.com/InfosecureIT/InfosecureIT.github.io.git How can I know what file the GitHub server is referring to when it says file can not be found?

@ jpvillaisaza - Sure, the error is 404 file not found. is a picture, which would describe the error better.

Can you add the error that you get? Is it related to a missing favicon.ico? — jpvillaisaza, Mar 05 '17 at 21:38
Thanks. The image is not showing the complete error, but it is about the missing favicon, so I added an answer that might help you. — jpvillaisaza, Mar 06 '17 at 13:20

The error you're getting is related to a missing favicon.ico file. Even though your HTML code doesn't specify a favicon, browsers can request it and display an error. This shouldn't be a problem with loading everything else, but you might want to either add a favicon picture, which will probably be better for your site, or find a way to avoid the favicon request (see How to prevent favicon.ico requests?, for example).
