How to transfer CNAME domain to new project? #22170
-
|
I am using my main Github page (myname.github.io) as a portfolio, which redirects to a custom domain (myname.com). However, I made a completely new portfolio in a different repository which is currently live as a project page (myname.github.io/new_portfolio). I want to use myname.com for my new portfolio project instead of my old one. My CNAME is a Google domain, so it is linked to “myname.github.io.”. I am not sure what needs to be changed where. Do I need to change “myname.github.io.” to "myname.github.io/new_portfolio." in the Google Domain dashboard? Or do I need to somehow transfer myname.github.io to my new portfolio project? How can I do that through Github? Basically I want my current Github user page to change to myname.github.io/old_portfolio and mhname.github.io/new_portfolio to change to myname.github.io |

gvholley.github.io. Then you’ll want to attach your domain name to this repo instead. You may need to refresh the settings page and enable GitHub Pages after renaming your repo, but you should …
