So i'm making a website using github but the favicon isn't showing. I'm pretty sure im using the right code. <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"> Can any of you help? Give me the right code? I am using bootstrap but i don't think it should change how to add the favicon.

You might take alook at Adding a favicon to a static HTML page
Also this might be helpful Favicon with GitHub Pages
If everything is set correctly as you described, you might also try to ctrl/cmd + shift + r to empty cache.

Then You might try to save an image in several formats, e.g. 32x32 or use this tool here: https://realfavicongenerator.net/ – Lvcas Aug 11 '18 at 23:34

Please make sure that your favicon location is same as in or you just have Favicon in root directory. – Lvcas Aug 11 '18 at 23:40
