Jekyll: A GitHub Page with No Theme (4)

Using your own domain name (eg. doit.vlsm.org)

This page is about building a GitHub Page with no Jekyll theme. It is assumed that you know and have a GitHub account, and know how to setup a GitHub Page.

You might want to set your own domain.

See also https://doit.vlsm.org. Your domain name is stored in “CNAME” file. Let’s check the alias setting:

INPUT

cat CNAME 

OUTPUT

$ cat CNAME 
doit.vlsm.org
$ 

You have to set your DNS too. In this example, “doit.vlsm.org” is set as an alias (CNAME) of “thisishowmedoit.github.io”. Let’s check the DNS setting:

INPUT

host doit.vlsm.org

OUTPUT

$ host doit.vlsm.org
doit.vlsm.org is an alias for thisishowmedoit.github.io.
thisishowmedoit.github.io has address 185.199.111.153
thisishowmedoit.github.io has address 185.199.109.153
thisishowmedoit.github.io has address 185.199.110.153
thisishowmedoit.github.io has address 185.199.108.153
