gh-pages overwrites the CNAME

[njmulsqb]

Hi,

Whenever I publish the site, it overwrites the CNAME from the gh-pages branch, also it is not taking into account CNAME from the branch I am deploying, so with each deploy I have to manually add the CNAME which is time taking

same issue here - need to manually re-deploy CNAME file

This is the intended functionality - the output of your build step is copied into your build directory, which will overwrite any file inside of it (not just CNAME). I encountered the same issue and found this section of the readme useful.

I ended up adding an extra step to my predeploy script in package.json, writing the file after the build step and before deployment:
"predeploy": "yarn run build && echo your.website > dist/CNAME"
