no custom domain name option available in gh pages #22419

I just created this repository: https://github.com/fireflysemantics/test-deploy.fireflysemantics.com I then setup A records for it via my domain provider. After that I pushed test page to gh-pages. When I go to settings > gh-pages it just says: Your GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the gh-pages branch. And there is no custom domain option. I wish to serve the url |

Hey @fireflysemantics, Helps arrived! The gh-pages that GitHub is refering to is the branch of the repository that is deployed, not the URL that it’s deployed to. Under that section, there should be a section that is titled Custom domain. Here, you can enter the custom domain that you wish for the site to be deployed to. As long as you’ve configured the DNS correctly (which it looks like you have), then it should push to that domain. There’s some more info about this over here. |

I know that you have to create a file named CNAME with the custom domain, and in the DNS you have to redirect the domain to GitHub :slight_smile: |

I have the same problem. There is no “custom domain” form field on GitHub Enterprise Server version 3.0.12 as described in the documentation for GitHub. It is not clear in what GitHub products this form field will or will not exist and whether it is just not available in some products or configurable to be turned off as an option. I have admin right and can’t find any configuration to turn off or on the CNAME form field in GitHub Enterprise 3.0.12. |

@JustinGOSSES Did you figure out how to set a custom domain on Github Enterprise Server? |

@JustinGOSSES Custom domains are not possible in the on-prem version of GitHub Enterprise server. All pages sites are accessible at either In case it helps you or anyone else that come across this post in the future, for this reason and a few others, we’ve added a few features on github.com to help make Pages work better for Enterprise use-cases:
Changing the visibility of your GitHub Pages site - GitHub Docs
Managing the publication of GitHub Pages sites for your organization - GitHub...
Verifying your custom domain for GitHub Pages - GitHub DocsSo if you need a Pages site with a custom domain that is only accessible to people in your Enterprise, you can do this now on github.com. |
