Launching github pages for documentation of a python project

[atharvaaalok]

I am working on a repository for creating differentiable loss functions:
https://github.com/atharvaaalok/geosimilarity

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?
