Just as a clarification, much of what you mention has only changed in the last year or so. For a very long time gh-pages branch and Jekyll were assumed (you couldn't even use plugins with Jekyll). Custom domains weren't free. SSL wasn't free. Github is doing great stuff but it has taken time to evolve into the all free all you can eat buffet you see today.
- hellojason 6y agoI have to agree with parent. I've had a custom domain without Jekyll on GitHub pages for well over 5 years now, and it's been free the entire time.
- heyoni 6y agoSame here. Not sure where they’re getting that from. Possibly region specific?
- singhrac 6y agoI replied upthread, but I made a mistake reading https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-custom-domains-and-github-pages https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/... when revisiting what I remembered, and I was just looking at it from the perspective of private repos. My bad!
- hellojason 6y agoOh right, good point. The repo had to be public until very recently.
- villgax 6y agoGet your facts straight, they have had custom domains for a looong time & there was absolutely no need for Jekyll either at any point to host a page, it just happened to be one the most documented/blogged about way to use GitHub pages with automatic builds instead of having static content.
- stevage 6y agoMuch more than a year, maybe 2-3 years.
