Yeah, I can do that. I did it before to split the website out. I'm pretty sure the GitHub pages are HTTPS by default since it became a broad requirement from browsers. That said, do you think there's any features in the newer version of Jekyll that we'd?
We can always try it first and determine if it would be advantageous to switch. I've used it before with good results, and a lot of companies have started using that for their OSS project sites. I don't know any of the details behind the DNS though, so who knows what that will mean. 🤷♂️ David On Thu, Jan 2, 2020, 2:19 PM <win...@genial.ms> wrote: > Hi, > > I was anticipating of moving the website over to GitHub someday, but it's > kinda surprising you'd like to move over the domain so fast when the other > stuff is still on SF?
