Copying dist folder used to work a couple versions back, but now it doesn’t.
If i leave index.html in .gz zip, then github page shows 404 error.
If I unzip it into a regular index.html, the tab loads but the screen remains white

You can not just unzip the index .gz (for example js and css files in assets are also gzipped)
if your github page is not setup/doesnt support serving gzipped files you need to build without gzip enabled (see Build Window for example)
console is just 404 error

If you ever run into stuff like that one way to figure out what it tries to load (and what is not loading) is using the browsers networking tab. Stuff that is requests and fails is rendered in red in the list containing a bunch of info about who tried to make the request etc.
To use it open the Network tab and then refresh the site to see what is being loaded and how long it takes etc
ye so its index

The Build and Deploy button on the glitch component enforces gzip compression because glitch does support it by default
