Description
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
Current:
To set up a
www
or custom subdomain, such aswww.example.com
orblog.example.com
, you must create a CNAME file in your site's repository and configure aCNAME
record with your DNS provider.
It should probably be changed to something like:
To set up a
www
or custom subdomain, such aswww.example.com
orblog.example.com
, you must add your domain in the repository settings, which will create a CNAME file in your site’s repository. After that, configure aCNAME
record with your DNS provider.
Additional information
Users should NOT create the CNAME file themselves, this is done automatically once they update their custom domain settings with the domain name and hence the need for this change.
If we can get the wording that would explicitly convey to users that they should NOT create the CNAME file, that will be even better
