  1. Configuring A records with your DNS provider will point your custom domain to the following IP addresses

    • 185.199.108.153
    • 185.199.109.153
    • 185.199.110.153

    Add in one CNAME record for your custom domain then github will create CNAME file in your github repo automatically.

cd your project folder
vi `_config.yml`
url: "http://yourcoustomdomain.com"
