GitHub actions seems to remove CNAME from pages settings and 404s about aurae

👋 from the Pages team. I was checking out your project and noticed this, so thought I'd offer a suggestion. It's now possible to use Actions as the source, which allows you to have more control over the build. This option also removes the requirement for a CNAME file to exist, and you can deploy from any branch to Pages.

Happy to open a PR with an starter workflow to set this up if you like.

Small update. In order to bring the site back online in its "final form" we need to point github pages at the gh-pages branch. This is the working config. Its been one of those exciting days!

Confirmed. Any merge or push to the main branch will break the website and result in a 404

Hey @tcbyrd welcome to the Aurae project. Hope you love it here!

Feel free to start a pull request for us, we would love to use whatever best practices you suggest. I think in general myself and the others working on the project aren't the most experienced with Pages or Actions, so any clues and contributions would be amazing.

Also relevant to note that changing the CNAME file location to the configured directory Pages was looking in seemed to address this issue. I plan on making some changes to the GitHub documentation to clarify this as well.

So the website has been down all morning. I checked the pages settings and it looks like the page settings had been reversed? All of our GitHub pages configuration was lost.

I had to to back to the settings and re-enable the pages integration, select a branch, and re-enter the custom domain name. Waiting to see if the website comes back online.
