One very nice side-effect of hosting on GitHub is that it integrates very nicely with your repository GitHub pages. URLs for your repos are simply http://domain/reponame http://domain/reponame. For example (apologies for the self-promotion):
* my website, hosted on GitHub: http://crystae.net/ http://crystae.net/
* toy cellular automata project, hosted on GitHub: http://crystae.net/automatra http://crystae.net/automatra
Author's argument about Github Pages not allowing custom Jekyll plugins is true, but you can always build the site locally with whatever plugins you like and deploy the built copy (see Octopress[1] for a popular example of this).

- tobiassjosten 14y agoThat's definitely an option and to be fair I didn't use any Jekyll plugins up until recently. But my main gripe is still the lacking redirection. I can't lose that ability for this blog and all its accumulated URL fixes over the years. For new blogs I could definitely consider GitHub Pages. In fact I use it for one I started just a month ago.
