Prerequisites:

1.You should have your own GitHub page, If not then this article might help you.

2. You have your own custom domain name purchased and have access to domain configuration.

1. CNAME

Before start, I assume you have your Github page up & running.

First, you need to create a new file in your repository as CNAME then add your domain/subdomain name & commit.

Github CNAME

2. Configure DNS

Now go to your Configure DNS section of your DNS provider, You need to add two “@” type A records that point to the GitHub IP's

185.199.108.153  
185.199.109.153  
185.199.110.153  
185.199.111.153

and one “www” CNAME record that points to your username.github.io URL.

Done! You did it! 🥳🍻
