I have created a website and placed it on github in the repo with USRNAME.github.com. First when I went to that website, my website displayed correctly. Then I bought a domain, lets say example.com. I placed a CNAME file in the repo, so now USRNAME.github.com forwards to example.com.
I understand that I have to point my domain at the github server in order to allow my website to be displayed at example.com, but I'm not sure how. I created the site through gandi.net. I tried editing the zone file to have a CNAME entry with USRNAME.github.com but that didn't work. I also tried to edit the DNS server name but no entry I placed in there seemed valid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
