I have a website hosted statically on GitHub Pages. When attempting to manage it with Google Search Console, I noticed that it has only been able to index the landing page of the site.

To address this, I decided to create a sitemap. However, when I load it into Google Search Console and submit the link, it fails to recognize it and shows the error: Couldn't fetch.

Is it possible that I’m missing something, or does GitHub, as the host of the page, automatically handle and generate the sitemap?

Additionally, I downloaded the sitemap from this service, so I don’t believe the issue is related to the format or structure of the XML file.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
