Custom Domain Names & Hosting

with         GitHub Pages

We all know...

That you can publish a repo to github pages in settings and the URL is:

https://username.github.io/repo

And Our Site...

That Being Said...

If We...

Name a repo: username.github.io

And Publish to GitHub Pages

username.github.io

Becomes our base URL, and that repo is published to it

That Being Said...

If We...

Add a custom domain name to our username.github.io repo...

Not Only

Does that turn the base URL username.github.io        customdomain.com

It changes

All other published repos to customdomain.com/repo

Now Our Site...

The Only Step

I did not mention, is configuring your Domain Name Provider to point to GitHub, which is as easy as changing one thing,

Change to: 192.30.252.153

Now your deployed projects will look more organized and professional!

Now Go Show them Off!!!
