| #---------------GitHub Pages + Namecheap Domain + SSL Cheat Sheet------------# | |
| NOTE: You do NOT need to buy PositiveSSL from Namecheap. | |
| GitHub Pages provides free SSL automatically via Let's Encrypt. | |
| # Namecheap Domain Setup | |
| Buy Domain | |
| Go to namecheap.com, select and buy domain name. | |
| Navigate to DNS Settings | |
| Login to Namecheap → Username dropdown → Dashboard | |
| Go to DomainList | |
| Click Manage button | |
| Click Advanced DNS tab | |
| Add DNS Records | |
| Click "Add Record" and add the following: | |
| A Records (point root domain to GitHub Pages IPs) | |
| Type: A Record | Host: @ | Value: 185.199.108.153 | TTL: Automatic | |
| Type: A Record | Host: @ | Value: 185.199.109.153 | TTL: Automatic | |
| Type: A Record | Host: @ | Value: 185.199.110.153 | TTL: Automatic | |
| Type: A Record | Host: @ | Value: 185.199.111.153 | TTL: Automatic | |
| CNAME Record (point www subdomain to your Pages site) | |
| Type: CNAME Record | Host: www | Value: yourusername.github.io | TTL: Automatic | |
| # GitHub Repo Setup | |
| Add CNAME File | |
| Add a CNAME file to the root of your GitHub repo containing only your domain name. | |
| yourdomain.com | |
| Configure GitHub Pages | |
| In your GitHub repo go to Settings → Pages | |
| Set your custom domain and save | |
| # Enable HTTPS | |
| Wait for DNS propagation (up to 24 hours) | |
| Check "Enforce HTTPS" in Settings → Pages | |
| GitHub will automatically provision a free TLS cert via Let's Encrypt once DNS resolves. | |
| The "Enforce HTTPS" checkbox will be greyed out until this happens. |
I cannot make it to enforce HTTPS, anyone can help?
Thank you!

Somewhat similarly, I'm not able to access the website without typing in www before the domain. If I just go to the domain without anything in the front or with https:// then it won't connect.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank youu
I have the same issue there is just a blank screen being shown nothing else except the title
After 9 years, I updated this sheet 😂 . It includes the updated IPs and updated processes for configuring your Namcheap domain with github pages. I also added a note on how to set up your page with ssl for improved security. I hope y'all have grown tremendously in your cs careers and personal tech proficiencies. See you in another 9 years?
Thank you, you're a legend.
