My new Github page isn't showing up

So I'm following this guide here to create a Github page

I created a repository, cloned it to my project directory and pushed, finally got to this last step:

Fire up a browser and go to http://username.github.io. Give it a couple of minutes for your page to show up—there will be a delay this very first time. In the future, changes will show up pretty much instantly.

My Github repo link is this: https://github.com/leongaban/gabanco

So I assumed my Github page link would be either:
http://leongaban.gabanco.github.io/

or

http://leongaban.github.io/

However neither link is working at the moment :(

Anyone create a Github page before? Eventually I want to try out Jekyll on it.

I'm not sure if the site just needed some time to show up, but I was getting a 404 error after pushing my master branch... Then I changed my 'theme' in the repo's settings. All of a sudden it started working! A file called config.yml appeared with the theme metadata.
