Seems like GitHub could solve this by making users verify they own a domain name by adding a value to a txt record rather than just seeing the domain points to github and letting any repo use it.
- rcfox 6mo agoYou actually can do that. https://github.com/settings/pages https://github.com/settings/pages
- gavinsyancey 6mo agoThank you; just did that for my domain I use with GH Pages. They should really mention that in the setup instructions.
- rockbruno 6mo agoYou can do it, iirc they even stress doing so in the docs for GitHub Pages if you don't want your domain to be stolen
- darkteflon 6mo agoI’ve set up two static pages with custom domains using GH Pages in the past couple of months, and both times I had to go digging in the docs before I found the verification page as part of trying to figure out why https wasn’t working. Fucking inexplicably poor UX design from GH. If I add a custom domain, just ask me to verify it.
