Custom Domain

You can use your own domain like cre.youruniversity.edu instead of the default GitHub Pages URL.

See About custom domains and GitHub Pages for an overview.

Step 1: Add CNAME file

Create a file called CNAME (no extension) in your repo root:

cre.youruniversity.edu

Step 2: Configure DNS

Add a CNAME record with your domain provider:

• Name: cre (or your subdomain)
• Value: acm-cre-university.github.io (your GitHub Pages URL)

Step 3: Enable in GitHub Pages

1. Go to Settings > Pages
2. Under Custom domain, enter your domain
3. Check Enforce HTTPS (after DNS propagates)

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate.

See Managing a custom domain for detailed instructions.
