Here's a Github repository of mine: https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs
There's a gh-pages branch to hold the project documentation, which is basically the project website: https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/tree/gh-pages
This branch setups the documentation site at http://n1k0.github.com/casperjs/ — hurray.
In the meanwhile, I've bough the casperjs.org domain to get this website available through it, so I put a CNAME file as recommended in the docs: https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/blob/gh-pages/CNAME — in their example, the operation is supposed to create redirects from www.example.com and charlie.github.com to example.com…
While the website now points to http://casperjs.org/, there's no 301 redirect from http://n1k0.github.com/casperjs/ (the old site url) to the new domain name.
Any idea how to setup such a redirect, if it's even possible? Is it a bug? If it is, where should I open an issue?
Bringing this topic back from the dead to mention that GH now supports redirect-from's redirect-to parameter https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from#redirect-to
Simply add this to your _config.yml
gems:
- jekyll-redirect-from
And this to the top of your index page.
---
redirect_to: "http://example.com"
---
To avoid the duplicate content, in a first time you can add a meta canonical like this:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://casperjs.org">
You can redirect using Javascript after host detection, like this:
if (window.location.href.indexOf('http://niko.github.com') === 0) {
window.location.href = 'http://casperjs.org{{ page.url }}';
}
But I agree, it's not an HTTP redirection.
Why didn't you use http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H76.html?
That would give
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://casperjs.org/'" />
Github pages don't support anything like .htaccess or nginx/conf
https://help.github.com/articles/redirects-on-github-pages/
so easiest way is:
HTML redirect:
index.html
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.mywebsite.com/" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Redirect</p>
</body>
</html>
Manual layout method
If you don't feel like using https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from it's easy to implement it yourself:
a.md:
---
layout: 'redirect'
permalink: /a
redir_to: 'http://example.com'
sitemap: false
---
_layouts/redirect.html based on Redirect from an HTML page :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
{% comment %}
Don't use 'redirect_to' to avoid conflict
with the page redirection plugin: if that is defined
it takes over.
{% endcomment %}
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ page.redir_to }}"/>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ page.redir_to }}" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<a href="{{ page.redir_to }}">Click here if you are not redirected.<a>
<script>location='{{ page.redir_to }}'</script>
</body>
</html>
Now:
firefox localhost:4000/a
will redirect you to example.com.
Like this example, the redirect-from plugin does not generate 301s, only meta + JavaScript redirects.
We can verify what is going on with:
curl localhost:4000/a
Tested on GitHub pages v64, live demo at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/cirosantilli.github.io/tree/d783cc70a2e5c4d4dfdb1a36d518d5125071e236/r
No.
Other answers talk about redirections with meta refresh or javascript. But the OP asked about 301 redirects. And here's the answer: No. It is not possible. Your site on GitHub Pages is static, so you don't have any control over the server.
I had a similar issue when switching the domain for my github pages site. I set up rerouter on Heroku to handle the 301 redirects to the new domain. It handles domain-to-domain redirects very simply, but you may have to modify it to handle your site's legacy domain+path location.
I described the steps in detail here:

i have recently create a github page but the default homepage is always this auto-generated homepage
But I directly want to go to my actual webpage,is there anyway to do it?
You can see an example of Using meta refresh to create an instant client-side redirect: there is no space.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>The Tudors</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://thetudors.example.com/'" />
</head>
<body>
<p>This page has moved to a <a href="http://thetudors.example.com/">
theTudors.example.com</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>
But in your case, your index.html does work on my side, and does redirect to default.html.
I have a github webpage. How do I make a page displaying purely a pdf? I.e my cv?
To clarify, I wish the page to be filled only with the pdf - not any headings etc.
Just commit your pdf into your repo and it will be accessible just like any other file.
For instance, my resume is committed to my repo at https://github.com/xiongchiamiov/xiongchiamiov.github.com/blob/master/about/resume.pdf and is available on the web at https://changedmy.name/about/resume.pdf (I have a CNAME set up for changedmy.name).
Rather than redirecting to the PDF, you could embed it using an iframe or something like https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js.
This way, the PDF will be accessible within the page and you could prevent it from being downloaded without viewing it in the browser.
It's not possible to make the page display "purely" the pdf, as to do that, you would need to alter the response headers, which obviously isn't possible with github pages.
You could have a JS redirect in your index.html that points to a pdf file that's also in your github-pages repo.
Suppose your file structure is like this:-
index.html
- cv(folder)
-----cv.pdf (your cv)
Then your code should look like this.
<html>
<body>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.location = "robin.github.io/cv/cv.pdf"
</script>
</html>
You can also do this:
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<!-- note the meta tag -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://yourprofile.github.io/cv.pdf" />
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Will CV</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Github is using PDF.js to display PDFs, e.g. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/web/compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf , you may find iframe with URL you can use to embed your resume (e.g. https://render.githubusercontent.com/view/pdf?commit=b261203018f847c89e05bb4c03c820fad0c90672&enc_url=68747470733a2f2f7261772e67697468756275736572636f6e74656e742e636f6d2f6d6f7a696c6c612f7064662e6a732f623236313230333031386638343763383965303562623463303363383230666164306339303637322f7765622f636f6d707265737365642e74726163656d6f6e6b65792d706c64692d30392e706466&nwo=mozilla%2Fpdf.js&path=web%2Fcompressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf&repository_id=1663468#13eff6e4-ecdb-4fe1-85e4-b7a468697e26)
I am using the smtp sendmail function, in the anchor <a> tag href attribute we have reference other than http:// ie something like below
transauth://some other data
but the gmail is not creating the hyperlink of transauth but creating of http://gmail.com ,Any solutions regarding this.
Gmail strips links that use custom uri schemas.
A work around however is that if you have a website somewhere you can host a simple redirect page that will redirect you to the correct schema.
This is a pretty bullet proof redirect here I copied from this answer to another question
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://example.com">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://example.com"
</script>
<title>Page Redirection</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Note: don't tell people to `click` the link, just tell them that it is a link. -->
If you are not redirected automatically, follow the <a href='http://example.com'>link to example</a>
</body>
</html>
I want to redirect outbound affiliate links and on this site there is no option for PHP or htaccess.
So far I've always done this using
<?php
header( 'Location:' ) ;
?>
but like I said this is not an option anymore as this site does not support php or .htaccess anymore.
Is there an alternative solution for this, using HTML ?
Use this code before </head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://youraffiliatelink.com/" />
use this hrml code in header of your page :
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/" />
or use JavaScript like this :
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://example.com"
</script>
I have a bunch of pages with the following structure:
<html>
<body>
<div id="summary">
</div>
<div id="promotions">
</div>
</body>
</html>
I want these pages to be accessible by both:
/items/one
/items/two
/items/three
And:
/promotional-offers/2014/february/one
/promotional-offers/2014/february/two
/promotional-offers/2014/february/three
/items/... should just open the page. /promotional-offers/2014/february/... should open the page /items/... and go to the anchor #promotions (scroll down to the appropriate div).
/items/one/#promotions
/items/two/#promotions
/items/three/#promotions
I'm not sure though how to set up rewrite rules in web.config to help search engines with indexing my pages and avoid having 'duplicate content'.
I would add a Canonical tag to completely avoid duplicate content, so It won't matter from which page you are showing the same content.
<!--url /promotional-offers/2014/february/one-->
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/items/one" />
