When doing PR, emails come from github

when a user is contributing a company they use the Github interface for convenience. I personally forked the project and created a company page which will later be requested as a pull. Forking the project then receives the following emails.

The page build completed successfully, but returned the following warning:

CNAME already taken: webdevphoenix.com

If you have any questions you can contact us by replying to this email.

Hmm, yea that's interesting. So I'm not sure how familiar you are with github pages, but the idea is that if you have a repo with a "gh-pages" branch, then that branch automatically gets turned into a public facing website. Having a file called CNAME in that branch tells GitHub that you intend to point a domain name to GitHub. So it's somewhat of a race, the first repo to claim a domain name by virtue of having a CNAME file will create this error message for other repos on github that try to claim the same name.

So that's how it works. I don't really know what we can do about it. Unless it is possible to only fork the master branch and work there? Then do a pull request to the webdevphoenix master branch. If that were possible, github wouldn't complain about the CNAME file in a master branch, only a gh-pages branch

Yep, the good news is that the email doesn't keep populating my inbox. I received only two in the first hour and no further emails. A suggested fix might be to do a git submodule for the 'companies' directory, allowing a separate queue for PR of bugs (this repo) and PR of company updates (git submodule repo).

OR update contrib.md with the preferred method to add a PR and/or just list this as a known issue. Either way with this issue reported, others won't likely report the same issue.
