Using GitHub Pages with a custom domain: Namecheap Edition

As often happens, I found the official documentation and forum answers to be "close, but no cigar", and so had to experiment a little to get things working.

The main problem for me was a lack of concrete configuration examples. That's not entirely GitHub's fault: having migrated from Google Domains to Namecheap in the middle of this project, I was once again reminded of how many different ways there are to do things in the name service universe [1].

Although you'd think the simplest setup would be to merely configure for the subdomain case (https://www.example.com), in my experience using the apex domain (https://example.com) instead resulted in fewer complications.

Procedure

So here's my recipe for using a custom domain with GitHub pages where Namecheap is the DNS provider:

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Install ImageMagick for image conversion:

brew install imagemagick

Install tesseract for OCR:

brew install tesseract --all-languages

Or install without --all-languages and install them manually as needed.

	copy/delete word under cursor in Vim
	yw / byw

	Assuming that the cursor is at the first character of the word simply do this in command mode:
	yw
	y is for yank and w is for word.

	Other ways of doing the same thing which are not as efficient:
	vey
	the v starts visual select mode. e tells vim to move to end of word. y yanks or copies the word. to delete replace y with x.

	'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the racks
	Not a server was alerting, not even Compaqs.
	The backups were written to tapes with care
	In hopes that later the data would be there.

	The machines were nestled all snug in their sleds
	Whilst visions of vengeance danced in their heads;
	And oncall in his three-wolf and I in my rack.
	Had just settled down for some syn and some ack.
