Body

Hello,
I have a couple repos that I want to serve to the public from a custom domain, but am unable to get it working. From what I have been able to determine via docs, if I want to use a shared custom domain for multiple repos, I need to add an "umbrella" repo that is the same name as the organization account name. The project repos then don't have a custom domain setting enabled, but are intended to inherit the custom domain configuration from the account-name-matched repo.

My configuration:

• Custom domain: cdn.thehotline.us

• Visibility: public

• Umbrella repo: the-hotline (which is the org name)

  • README in the root
  • CNAME in the root - cdn.thehotline.us

• When I visit cdn.thehotline.us, it loads the repo successfully.

• Project repo: thl-site-feedback

  • README in the root
  • thl-site-feedback.js in the root

• Visibility: public

• When I visit cdn.thehotline.us/thl-site-feedback/thl-site-feedback.js, I get a GitHub branded 404 error

"404
File not found

The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file.

If this is your site, make sure that the filename case matches the URL as well as any file permissions.
For root URLs (like http://example.com/) you must provide an index.html file.

• When I was first setting this up, I added the custom domain setting to a project repo and the .js file loaded as expected.
• DNS is correct. Confirmed by the umbrella repo loading the README and the project repo working before I wanted to share the custom domain.
• I have cycled unpublishing and republishing the umbrella repo and project repos (in both directions to see if the project repos or the umbrella repose need to be published first), purge CloudFlare cache, cleared local cache, waited.

What am I missing?

Thank you in advance for any help!
