I have a jekyll blog hosted on my github account and I have attached a domain to it http://blog.myname.com
I also created a github page for one of my repositories, it is hosted by github as this my-github-username.com/github-page
My question is how can I attach a new domain name to my repository, like when I goto myrepo.com it will show my repo's github page.
Thanks
For that you need to change CNAME record of myrepo.com point into my-github-username.com/github-page
For detail config please look at this link github
And i think this link also help you to set goal How GitHub Pages sites use custom domains

Recently I tried to make a website using HTML and CSS and then I tried to host it on GitHub by commit under a repository name myname_examp.github.io, but when I tried to access it through the web browser using myname_examp.github.io there was an error 404.
Is there some steps to do?
If your Github account is free tire, the Github pages repo must be public.
If you are using GitHub Enterprise Cloud and has access control, the site can only be accessed by people with read access to the repository where the site is published from.
You can use actions status to check whether your site ready:
See more on Github docs
BTW, if your site is project type (repo not named user/org.github.io), you shall go to repo setting enable pages.
Need a help in GitHub
I hosted my portfolio on GitHub but there is an issue.
Hosted link is https://gfx-usman.github.io/gfxusman.github.io/
But I need to convert in this link:
https://gfxusman.github.io/
what's the problem? Is it any repository creation issue. Help
As documentation
says:
To publish a user site, you must create a repository owned by your user account that's named <username>.github.io
In your case the repo name should be gfx-usman.github.io instead of gfxusman.github.io
Don't add .github.io in your repo name.
Repo name - gfxusman
And then publish it then you will get
Link - https://gfxusman.github.io/
I have a GitHub repo of docs linked to my RTD account. The GitHub/RTD connection appears to be set up correctly with a functional webhook (green checks at both ends). Commits to the repo trigger a successful build on RTD as expected. RTD is an Authorized OAuth App and my RTD account is connected to my GitHub account.
Under Settings -> GitHub pages, I have tried both master branch and master branch/docs. I would expect https://moniker.github.io/repo-name/ to go to the connected RTD docs. But it just shows the repo-name/README.md file, not the repo-name.rtfd.io docs. Am I misunderstanding the linkage or the use of GitHub Pages? Or am I completely missing something? Thanks for any insight.
I put in a help desk question to GitHub and their response was:
GitHub Pages provides its own web hosting and will not integrate with external services. If you're publishing your site elsewhere GitHub Pages will not link to it.
So the answer is "no", adding the webhook only triggers a new build on commits and I do explicitly need a docs/index.html (or .md) that redirects to the RTD documentation.
I have a personal blog site hosted on github pages. I've updated the repository settings and DNS settings according to offical document. Unfortunately redirection doesn't work properly, access to original github URL is not forwarded to my sub-domain but top domain name. What's going wrong?
My github page repository is skyscribe.github.io and in the project setting, I've set the custom domain as www.skyscribe.me; now when I navigate to skyscribe.github.io, it just redirects to skyscribe.me than www.skyscribe.me.
EDIT: I have setup my CNAME in DNS resolver properly.
You will need to add a CNAME file.
Also I just checked, it seems to be redirecting to www.skyscribe.me
I am aware that on GitHub you can create a repository, <username>.github.io, which will be a personal website. I also understand you can link custom domains to this, so example.com would show the website in your GitHub repo.
I have a couple questions though.
At the moment, I have a GitHub project - let's call it FooProject. I have purchased a custom domain name for a website to showcase the project. How can I create a website for this, hosted on GitHub? (not a personal site in the form <username>.github.io, but a project site).
Also, can I give the GitHub repository a different name like fooproject.com, or does it something specific?
I suppose what I am really asking is, when hosting a website on GitHub...
Can you host your website using a GitHub repository of any name (like fooproject.com)?
If not, I'm aware of using gh-pages branches for the website of a project. How would this work with a custom domain?
If that isn't a good option either, what's the best option for my use case?
Hope that's clear.
So I managed to answer my own questions in the end - here's what I did.
My website is going to be something to showcase a different project I am working on. I could have hosted the website from a /doc directory or gh-pages branch in my project repository and then set up a custom domain from there.
However, there was also the option of creating a repository with any name and hosting the website from the master branch - this method appealed to me more.
I created a new repository named the same as my domain name, example.com (it doesn't really matter what you call the repository). Then, using git, I added some website files - index.html, stylesheet.css, etc.
Once my repository was ready, I configured its master branch as a publishing source for GitHub pages - see this help page for details.
Then with my DNS provider (GoDaddy, in my case), I configured the CNAME and A records (for the www subdomain and apex domain respectively). There are also help pages on GitHub for setting up www subdomains and setting up apex domains. Note that it takes a little while for the changes made on the DNS to take effect.
Finally, I added my custom domain to my GitHub repository - see the GitHub help page for adding or removing custom domains.
Here's a summary (for using any GitHub repository to host a website):
Create your repository - repository name doesn't matter.
Add your website files - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Configure the master branch as a publishing source
Configure CNAME and A records with DNS provider
Add the custom domain to the GitHub repository settings
