Deploy script removes github pages custom domain

When using these to deploy to github :

git commit -am "Save local changes"
git checkout -B gh-pages
git add -f build
git commit -am "Rebuild website"
git filter-branch -f --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter build
git push -f origin gh-pages
git checkout -

Github loses the custom domain setting

Note : I think it’s due to the -B option in git checkout -B gh-pages.

Also gh-pages will overwrite the CNAME file, because it just always pushes everything from the build folder to the gh-pages branch.

A simple workaround for this problem is to add a CNAME file with the custom domain inside the public folder in your project and it will be copied to the build and deployed.

@dsernst yeah, not sure why I didn’t put my original script. And in retrospect I regret my decision.
