I am working on a repository for creating differentiable loss functions:

I have a docs folder in which I have MyST markdown code for documentation. How do I launch a webpage using github pages?

The documentation here says to run the following command in the root: myst init --gh-pages

But when I run the myst command in my root it uses the README.md instead of the markdown files in the docs/ folder. What are the exact steps that I have to take to launch github pages?

I first run mystcommand in the docs/ folder which creates a _build folder inside docs/. But it also autogenerates a .gitignore that ignores the _build folder. I then run the command myst init --gh-pages from the root of the git repository but github pages failed to deploy. I tried this test on a copy of my repository (so as to keep everything in the main repo organized).
