Notes on: Verifying a Bluesky Account with Github Pages

December 18, 2024

Assuming you already have a <username>.github.io Github site setup, the process to link to your Bluesky account is fairly straightforward.

In your Bluesky account, navigate to Settings > Account > Handle > select I have my own domain then:

Domain: <username>.github.io
Choose the No DNS Panel option
Note/copy the value listed under contains the following for the https://<github-url>/.well-known/atproto-did file path; it will look something like did:plc:zzzzz.
Naturally, don’t select Verify Text File until pushing changes listed below to Github in your public <username>.github.io repo first.

Meanwhile, in your root directory of your <username>.github.io repository, you’ll add the following:

In the _config.yml file (if one doesn’t already exist):
```
  include: [".well-known"]
```
In the .well-known/atproto-did file path:
```
  did:plc:<replace-with-str>
```
