Permanent redirect from Github gh-pages

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5302663

سؤال

I want to create a homepage and, for now, I think Github's pages features will serve my needs. However, I might want to switch to a more full-blown CMS/blog engine later on.

Is it possible to serve a permanent redirect (HTTP 301) from Github pages in case I decide to move my homepage someplace else while preserving all the old URIs?

المحلول

Best I can deduce is that Github has not yet added this. See Tekkub response from April 2010 re: adding it to the feature request list. Another message from another user in January suggests a META tag as a workaround (probably not a good solution).

For the security of their users, GitHub Pages does not support customer server configuration files such as .htaccess or .conf. However, using the Jekyll Redirect From plugin, you can automatically redirect visitors to the updated URL.

Mass redirect layout technique

Individual page redirects are covered at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36846720/895245 Actual 301s seem impossible.

If you want to mass redirect:

http://you.github.io/some/path

to:

http://new_domain.com/some/path

do as follows.

Before you move away

  • _layouts/default.html: the default layout

  • _config uses the default layout:

    defaults:
  -
    scope:
      path: ''
    values:
      layout: 'default'

After you move away

  • create _layouts/redirect.html with an HTML redirect derived from Redirect from an HTML page along:

    {% assign redir_to = site.new_domain | append: page.url %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Redirecting...</title>
  <link rel="canonical" href="{{ redir_to }}"/>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ redir_to }}" />
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Redirecting...</h1>
  <a href="{{ redir_to }}">Click here if you are not redirected.<a>
  <script>location='{{ redir_to }}'</script>
</body>
</html>

  • _config contains:

    defaults:
  -
    scope:
      path: ''
    values:
      layout: 'redirect'
new_domain: 'http://new-domain.com/some/path

  • replace every non-default layout with a symlink to the redirect layout. This is the only ugly part of this technique. I don't see a beautiful non-plugin solution.
