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:

Initialising Empty Structs in Rust

In C/C++, you can initialise a struct without giving values for any of the fields:

struct Point {
  float x;
  float y;
  float z;
};

Discard commits while saving changes

Scenario

You have made some commits, pushed it upstream to the remote branch, then realized that some or all of those commits must for some reason not be included. In example, accidently commiting large multimedia files (blobs) that will forever bloat the commit history of the branch.

1. ensure all changes are commited in your current, "faulty" branch
2. switch to your master branch
   • git checkout master
3. update master with latest changes on remote
