How can I add a CNAME file to the root of the master?

I am using Pelican to generate a GitHub page. This page has a custom domain. To make the custom domain work, I need a file called CNAME in the master branch.

However, when I execute make github it doesn't copy the CNAME file.

How can I make pelican copy the CNAME file to the root of the output?

What I've tried

See https://github.com/ML-KA/ML-KA.github.io/ for the GitHub repository. I use Pelican 3.5.0.

I have CNAME in the root of the source directory as well as in a directory extra/

I've added the following lines to pelicanconf.py:

STATIC_PATHS = ['images', 'extra']
EXTRA_PATH_METADATA = {'extra/CNAME': {'path': 'CNAME'}, }

I've also tried to add the following lines instead to pelicanconf.py:

STATIC_PATHS = ['images', 'extra/CNAME']
EXTRA_PATH_METADATA = {'extra/CNAME': {'path': 'CNAME'}, }

And I've tried to add them additionally to publishconf.py. All variants seem to have no effect.

Solution

Paths and files defined by STATIC_PATHS should be inside the content folder. So, put your extra folder inside content.
