A better title would be "Serving a GitHub page on HTTPS...".
This is far from a proper and secure setup. The whole point of TLS is to ensure users are talking to you and not someone else while protecting the data. This accomplishes neither.

Cloudflare's "Flexible SSL" option does have the problem that the connection between Cloudflare and GitHub is not secure, but this tutorial doesn't recommend that; instead, it recommends a setup wherein Cloudflare validates the *.github.io certificate, so the full path is authenticated.
