Hi all,
I’m having problems making a project built with shadow-cljs work with github pages.
I put this project on github: [https://github.com/vipenzo/faber](https://github.com/vipenzo/faber). It’s a simple clojure editor that let you write clojure code to create 3d models that are, once compiled, visualized in a three.js pane.
It does work locally (just a minimal set of primitives for now), but I would like to make it work live using github pages. I configured the project for pages and it is available at the address “[https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/](https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/)”.
The problem is the github pages server routing system that it is quite obscure to me: my web files (html, css, js) are all available from the prefix [https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/](https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/) but the real root seems to be “[https://vipenzo.github.io/](https://vipenzo.github.io/)”.
So, for example, if in my index.html file I write “” the server tries to load it from “[https://vipenzo.github.io/css/codemirror.css](https://vipenzo.github.io/css/codemirror.css)” (faber is missing). I had to remove the “/” to load this file relative to the index.html position to make it work (so it is now ).
No big deal, so far, but I cannot make this kind of intervention on files loaded by shadow-cljs. For example one of the first files loaded is “[https://vipenzo.github.io/js/bootstrap/index.transit.json](https://vipenzo.github.io/js/bootstrap/index.transit.json)” which should instead be “[https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/js/bootstrap/index.transit.json](https://vipenzo.github.io/faber/js/bootstrap/index.transit.json)”, but I don’t know how to configure shadow-cljs to obtain this.
I tried with :asset-path “faber/js” but it seems to have no effect on the :bootstrap target.
I’m probably just using a wrong approach for this, if someone can offer some help I would really appreciate.

You can pass the path to use to the `boot/init` call.
See my the example code from my post.
- [https://code.thheller.com/blog/shadow-cljs/2017/10/14/bootstrap-support.html](https://code.thheller.com/blog/shadow-cljs/2017/10/14/bootstrap-support.html)
```auto
(defn start []
(boot/init compile-state-ref
{:path "/bootstrap"}
compile-it))
```
`:path` defaults to `/bootstrap` if not passed in.

It works !
Thanks a lot.
