## Using a custom domain across multiple repositories

If you set a custom domain for a user or organization site, by default, the same custom domain will be used for all project sites owned by the same account. For more information about site types, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/what-is-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites).

The added sentence "This will only work if the custom domain is set on a user or organization site." is redundant with the preceding clause (it restates the same condition) and can read as confusing/tautological. Consider rephrasing to clarify the contrast instead (e.g., that the default only applies when the custom domain is configured on the user/org site, not when it's configured on a project site).

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.

For example, if the custom domain for your user site is `www.octocat.com`, and you have a project site with no custom domain configured that is published from a repository called `octo-project`, the {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site for that repository will be available at `www.octocat.com/octo-project`.
