Custom domain gets deleted on deploy - CNAME not working

[whoisryosuke]

I have an issue where each time I use gh-pages to deploy, my custom domain gets deleted. I tried adding a CNAME file to my project with the domain name, but it doesn't change anything. Each deploy I have to manually set the domain again.

I run gh-pages -d public when deploying.

You can see the project repo here:
https://github.com/whoisryosuke/ryosuke-gatsby-blog

Not sure if this is an issue with my stack (GatsbyJS) or the gh-pages lib.

In your instance add the CNAME file to the static folder.

@adamsandle the CNAME file is in the gh-pages branch when I deploy (https://github.com/whoisryosuke/ryosuke-gatsby-blog/blob/gh-pages/CNAME), but I'll add it to the static folder and see if it makes a difference 👍

I'm also having this issue. You have to manually re-enter the costume domain in the repos settings and in my case turn off force https.

@ivoilic I was able to resolve this by committing the CNAME file to the branch gg-pages deploys from.

Thanks. It helps a lot.

Where and/or how should I be committing the CNAME to the repo?
I'm using Gatsby with a public repository.
Is this in the docs or am I missing something? Thanks.

[whoisryosuke]

@LeslieOA should be something like (assuming you push to origin):

git checkout gh-pages git add CNAME git commit -m ‘:wrench: Added CNAME’ git push gh-pages origin

git checkout gh-pages git add CNAME git commit -m ‘:wrench: Added CNAME’ git push gh-pages origin

Hey Ryosuke.
Ah! So I need a (plaintext/text/plain?) file named CNAME in the root of my repository?
Any link(s) to the docs for it's format/content(s)?

Thanks.

P.S. Nice (Gatsby) site BTW!

[whoisryosuke]

@LeslieOA yep. plaintext with your domain in it. you can see an example in my repo.
and thanks 😊
