Setting Up a Custom URL in Github

If you already have a custom domain and you want your archive to make use of it, you can configure this in Github.

BE AWARE: Custom domains come with their own risks, notably the fact that you or someone else in your community has to remember to renew the domain registration. Using the .github.io URL through Github pages does not carry this risk.

1. Go to your repository and click on “Settings.”
2. On the lefthand side bar, go to “Pages.”
3. Scroll down to “Custom domain.”
4. Enter the URL that you want to use for your archive.
   • Make sure you enter this correctly!
5. Click “Save.”

Check that it has worked as intended by going to your custom URL.
