Using GitHub Pages with a custom domain: Namecheap Edition

As often happens, I found the official documentation and forum answers to be "close, but no cigar", and so had to experiment a little to get things working.

The main problem for me was a lack of concrete configuration examples. That's not entirely GitHub's fault: having migrated from Google Domains to Namecheap in the middle of this project, I was once again reminded of how many different ways there are to do things in the name service universe [1].

Although you'd think the simplest setup would be to merely configure for the subdomain case (https://www.example.com), in my experience using the apex domain (https://example.com) instead resulted in fewer complications.

Procedure

So here's my recipe for using a custom domain with GitHub pages where Namecheap is the DNS provider:

import os
import signal
from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk
from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator

APPINDICATOR_ID = 'myappindicator'

def main():
    indicator = appindicator.Indicator.new(APPINDICATOR_ID, os.path.abspath('sample_icon.svg'), appindicator.IndicatorCategory.SYSTEM_SERVICES)
    indicator.set_status(appindicator.IndicatorStatus.ACTIVE)

/** scroll to top function in AngularJS */
angular.module('demoApp').controller('controller', ['$scope', function($scope) {
  
  $scope.scrollToTop = function($var) {
      // 'html, body' denotes the html element, to go to any other custom element, use '#elementID'
      $('html, body').animate({
          scrollTop: 0
      }, 'fast'); // 'fast' is for fast animation
  };

/* directive to disable input if num(chars) crosses maxLength in text-area in pagePopUp */
angular.module('notify.pageEOCApp').directive('textMaxlengthDirective', function() {

    return {
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
          
            var maxlength = Number(attrs.textMaxlength);
            function fromUser(text) {
                if(text.length > maxlength) {

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.
