DNS records for use with Github Pages

Recommended Posts

I have very simple site through Github Pages but I want to use the SquareSpace domain I bought rather than the Github Pages domain.

Following the instructions here: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-an-apex-domain-and-the-www-subdomain-variant

I setup a total of 9 DNS records:

* 4 "A" records that point from my domain to the Github Pages IP addresses

* 4 "AAAA" records that point from my domain to the Github Pages IPv6 addresses

* A CNAME record that points from my domain to the github username domain: <my-username>.github.io

 

See screenshot attached. However, these DNS records don't seem to be taking effect. I ran `$ dig <my domain>` and I don't see any of those rules created, and when I try to link the domain in Github pages I get this error: 

 

> Both www.raleighlittles.games and its alternate name are improperly configured

> Domain's DNS record could not be retrieved. For more information, see documentation (InvalidDNSError).

 

If anyone has dealt with editing their DNS records please let me know.
