Setting up Cloudflare and Github pages¶
Because Github has rolled out official support for HTTPS for custom domains, configuring it in tandem with Cloudflare has become slightly trickier. Ensure that your Cloudflare settings look like the following. The latest Github IPs can be found in their documentation.
| Type | Name | Value | Status |
| CNAME | www | is an alias of example.com | DNS and HTTP Proxy (CDN) |
| A | example.com | points to <GITHUB-IP> | DNS only |
| A | example.com | points to <GITHUB-IP> | DNS only |
| A | example.com | points to <GITHUB-IP> | DNS only |
| A | example.com | points to <GITHUB-IP> | DNS only |
The reason you enable the HTTP proxy for the CNAME is to allow Cloudflare’s page rules to work. Without it, example.com (without
the www subdomain) does not resolve correctly and the HTTP -> HTTPS redirect does not work.
GPG¶
This summarizes the information from Github Help.
- List your keys with
gpg2 --list-keys. - Configure your git signing key with
git config --global user.signingkey <key>. - Run
gpg2 --armor --export <key>and add the key to your Github account. - Sign commits with
git commit -S <...> git-bumpwill sign tags automatically.
Note that gpg2 and gpg are not interchangeable. If you decide to use gpg2, you can tell git to use it with
git config --global gpg.program gpg2.
Ensure that your name and e-mail address match the Github account you’re adding the key to.
gpg-agent requires that you set GPG_TTY. For bash, this would look like:
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTYFor fish:
set -gx GPG_TTY (tty)
