Configuring a custom domain for GitHub Pages

Hey folks! I put together a quick tutorial for anyone who wants to host static sites on GitHub and wire up a custom domain.

Take a look:

In the video I walk through how to attach a domain (DNS) you own on GoDaddy to a static site hosted on GitHub.

1. Add a CNAME file at the project root containing your domain
2. Repository Settings – GitHub Pages – branch master and custom domain – csmpsicologia.com – SAVE
3. Configure the DNS records on GoDaddy
4. Wait a few minutes and test by visiting csmpsicologia.com or running ping / dig from the terminal
5. Done

Very handy for portfolios, landing pages, and other static sites out there.

Case study:

site with custom domain: http://csmpsicologia.com/
