How I connected my Namecheap domain to Gitlab pages

After some struggle, (their docs are not easy) I succeeded to connect my domain bought on Namecheap, lesauf.com, to my website on gitlab pages.

I actually created two customs domains on Gitlab Pages (“Settings” -> “Pages”): lesauf.com and www.lesauf.com.

Here is my configuration in the “Advanced DNS section on Namecheap that made the verification on Gitlab pages work :

1. Delete all the default records set by Namecheap;
2. Add an “A” record pointing to 35.185.44.232 (as per Gitlab instructions);
3. Add a “TXT” Record pointing to gitlab-pages-verification-code=… with the host as _gitlab-pages-verification-code;
4. Add a “TXT” Record pointing to gitlab-pages-verification-code=… with the host as _gitlab-pages-verification-code.www. This one is for the www subdomain;
