Deployment deletes `CNAME` file from `gh-pages` branch (custom domain)

[nimit2801]

Every time I use npm run deploy -- -m "Deploy React app to GitHub Pages" from my main branch to deploy on gh-pages the it resets the custom URL and I've to make a new commit for CNAME to reset it to new the custom URL. Is there a solution for the same in react-gh-pages

You can just put the CNAME file in your public folder.

Thanks, @theobong, for sharing a solution.

Hi @nimit2801, to elaborate on the solution shared by @theobong:

According to the Create React App documentation about the public folder: during the build process, files in the public folder will be copied as-is into the build folder. Running $ npm run deploy will then push the contents of that build folder to the remote gh-pages branch.

Can we add this in the documentation for the developers to know this beforehand @gitname?

Thank you for the explanation, it really helped!

Yes, thanks for suggesting that. For now, I'll add a link to this Issue, then eventually (once I have time to test it) spell it out in the instructions.

you can elaborate something like this:

"scripts": {
    "deploy": "cp CNAME ./public/ && gh-pages -d public"

The correct solution

gh-pages -d build --cname custom-domain.com
