I have been wondering on how to put GitHub Project Page into subdomain of my GitHub User Page as no detailed instructions can be found around. In case you don't understand what I want to achieve, say I already have my GitHub User Page (hansnewbie.github.io) to use custom domain to hansadrian.com (you should follow the guide at http://davidensinger.com/2013/03/setting-the-dns-for-github-pages-on-namecheap/ - I am using Namecheap since it is cheap, as the name suggests).

CNAME
file that contains subdomain.domain.com
(in my case, I will have CNAME
file with the content blog.hansadrian.com
).
