I am trying to make my website not prone to clickjacking. To do this I need to update the HTTPS headers. My website is hosted on github pages. How can I update the headers in github pages?
So you can enforce https on github pages by checking this checkbox here:
It takes some time to reflect.
Also, if it is not working, some of your css/JS files must be accessed over HTTP, so if any of the external dependencies of your website are requested over HTTP, change that to HTTPS and then it should work fine.

Recently I tried to make a website using HTML and CSS and then I tried to host it on GitHub by commit under a repository name myname_examp.github.io, but when I tried to access it through the web browser using myname_examp.github.io there was an error 404.
Is there some steps to do?
If your Github account is free tire, the Github pages repo must be public.
If you are using GitHub Enterprise Cloud and has access control, the site can only be accessed by people with read access to the repository where the site is published from.
You can use actions status to check whether your site ready:
See more on Github docs
BTW, if your site is project type (repo not named user/org.github.io), you shall go to repo setting enable pages.
I have a github repo that is also a github page. I use it as a CDN like so:
https://agentscript.org/src/Model.js
(agentscript.org is a CNAME forwarder to backspaces.github.io/agentscript/)
I would like to access the code by release number. So for example something like:
https://agentscript.org#0.9.0/src/Model.js
Is there a way for me to do this? The above fails. Maybe a different syntax?
Note that npm publishing allows this to work on npm based CDNs like skypack or unpkg:
https://unpkg.com/agentscript#0.9.0/src/Model.js
https://cdn.skypack.dev/agentscript#0.9.0/src/Model.js
GitHub Pages doesn't offer a feature like this. The reason is that GitHub Pages is designed to host a personal website or a site for your open source project, but isn't designed to be a CDN. The documentation outlines that there are limits, so if you need a CDN, you need to host your project on an actual CDN.
I have a personal blog site hosted on github pages. I've updated the repository settings and DNS settings according to offical document. Unfortunately redirection doesn't work properly, access to original github URL is not forwarded to my sub-domain but top domain name. What's going wrong?
My github page repository is skyscribe.github.io and in the project setting, I've set the custom domain as www.skyscribe.me; now when I navigate to skyscribe.github.io, it just redirects to skyscribe.me than www.skyscribe.me.
EDIT: I have setup my CNAME in DNS resolver properly.
You will need to add a CNAME file.
Also I just checked, it seems to be redirecting to www.skyscribe.me
I am aware that on GitHub you can create a repository, <username>.github.io, which will be a personal website. I also understand you can link custom domains to this, so example.com would show the website in your GitHub repo.
I have a couple questions though.
At the moment, I have a GitHub project - let's call it FooProject. I have purchased a custom domain name for a website to showcase the project. How can I create a website for this, hosted on GitHub? (not a personal site in the form <username>.github.io, but a project site).
Also, can I give the GitHub repository a different name like fooproject.com, or does it something specific?
I suppose what I am really asking is, when hosting a website on GitHub...
Can you host your website using a GitHub repository of any name (like fooproject.com)?
If not, I'm aware of using gh-pages branches for the website of a project. How would this work with a custom domain?
If that isn't a good option either, what's the best option for my use case?
Hope that's clear.
So I managed to answer my own questions in the end - here's what I did.
My website is going to be something to showcase a different project I am working on. I could have hosted the website from a /doc directory or gh-pages branch in my project repository and then set up a custom domain from there.
However, there was also the option of creating a repository with any name and hosting the website from the master branch - this method appealed to me more.
I created a new repository named the same as my domain name, example.com (it doesn't really matter what you call the repository). Then, using git, I added some website files - index.html, stylesheet.css, etc.
Once my repository was ready, I configured its master branch as a publishing source for GitHub pages - see this help page for details.
Then with my DNS provider (GoDaddy, in my case), I configured the CNAME and A records (for the www subdomain and apex domain respectively). There are also help pages on GitHub for setting up www subdomains and setting up apex domains. Note that it takes a little while for the changes made on the DNS to take effect.
Finally, I added my custom domain to my GitHub repository - see the GitHub help page for adding or removing custom domains.
Here's a summary (for using any GitHub repository to host a website):
Create your repository - repository name doesn't matter.
Add your website files - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Configure the master branch as a publishing source
Configure CNAME and A records with DNS provider
Add the custom domain to the GitHub repository settings
I have setup a GitHub page for a site I am working on, following the steps laid out here (https://pages.github.com/)
The site I have setup is currently hosted under IIS and makes use of the URL Rewrite module.
Is there an equivalent module or similar that I could use to rewrite certain URL requests within my application?
For security reasons, Github pages doesn't allow server configuration files, so, no url rewriting.
But you can use html redirection with the help of jekyll-redirect-from.
This is how github pages advises to redirect.
For Github Pages, just copy index.html and renaming it to 404.html will work.
