GitHub Pages with Namecheap custom domain

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:

A color blind/friendly color cycle for Matplotlib line plots. Might want to shuffle it around a bit more,but already not it gives kinda good contrasts between subsequent colors, and shows reasonably well in colorblind filters (though not in pure monochrome).
CB_color_cycle = ['#377eb8', '#ff7f00', '#4daf4a',
'#f781bf', '#a65628', '#984ea3',
'#999999', '#e41a1c', '#dede00']
