QUESTION: custom domain deployment

[fpigeonjr]

What is the process for deploying blog on a custom domain?

#gatsbyjs/gatsby#243

I was able to run the yarn run deploy script and push the public directory to the gh-pages branch.

Then I manually created a CNAMEfile with my custom domain.

The issue is every time I run the deploy script it removes the CNAME file.

Is there any way to prevent that?

Hey @fpigeon :)

you could move the CNAME file to pages, this way it would get automatically copied into the build folder.
Just like it's done here: axelclark/axelclark.com#9

Hope this helps!

thanks again @abisz. Yes moving the CNAMEfile to the pages directory works like a charm. This should be in the getting started guide.

Just tested and confirmed by running yarn run deploy and my site was pushed and no need to add the CNAME manually.

Thanks!

Better option is to put it in /static and it'll get copied automatically.
