This gist was partially inspired by this blog about Next.js Vercel CI with GitHub actions.

The problem

An easy way to deploy and host websites for free is to use GitHub pages. If you've deployed a Next.js project to GitHub pages, you may have used a GitHub action similar to this in the past to automatically redeploy the site when a new commit is pushed:

# gh-pages-merge.yml
name: Deploy to gh-pages on merge
on:
  push:

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:
