  1. POCustom domain for GitHub project pages
    text
    copied!<p>I have a <code>gh-pages</code> branch in one of my <a href="http://github.com" rel="noreferrer">http://github.com</a> repos. The GitHub project pages works fine if I go to <a href="http://myuser.github.com/myrepo" rel="noreferrer">http://myuser.github.com/myrepo</a></p> <p>I want to setup a custom domain (myexample.com) that will serve up this project pages. I want <strong>both</strong> <code>myexample.com</code> and <code>www.myexample.com</code> to serve up these project pages.</p> <p><a href="http://pages.github.com/" rel="noreferrer" title="github pages help">GitHub pages help</a> says to make an A record and a CNAME record in your DNS. The A record makes sense, but I do not know what CNAME record to make in my DNS.</p> <p>The <code>gh-pages</code> docs say to make a <code>CNAME</code> record for 'charlie.github.com' which is a user page repository. I do not have a user page repository - I only have a project repository and a <code>gh-pages</code> branch that I want to use for <code>myexample.com</code> and <code>www.myexample.com</code>.</p> <p><em>Do I need to make a user page repository just so I can use my project page for www.myexample.com and myexample.com?</em></p> <p>I would just try it, but I want to make sure this will work as I already have www.myexample.com live and don't want to make a mistake.</p> <p>I emailed GitHub support and their response was</p> <blockquote> <p>You can't have both point to the same gh-pages as far as I know. </p> </blockquote> <p>I find it hard to believe they would only support A records for project pages.</p> <p>Has anyone successfully done this before?</p>
