#2Sweet. Was just lamenting its absence.

#3About damn time!
I "cheated" the system by having a script that will redirect you to the HTTPS version if you click on anything from the HTTP protocol, which kind of accomplishes forcing the HTTPS encryption, but not really.
Then I've decided to switch to my own domain and just use CloudFlare (+ whitelisting Tor).
Now I'm kind of thinking about switching to GitLab Pages since they pretty much kick the hell out of GitHub Pages in every single way when you compare their features (like, you can use any static site generator and you can roll your own Lets Encrypt SSL certificate on them).

#4Nice work GitHub! That's huge! I think that means you could now use GitHub pages for Slack services that required HTTPS? If so, that's really awesome!

I’m not familiar with GitLab Pages but you can already use any static site generator with GitHub Pages as well.

I would hope not. If Github could generate valid SSL certs for random domains, something would be very broken.

Probably in the works? SNI should make this pretty easy now, right?
Maybe GH doesn't want the responsibility of hosting everyone's private keys.

From the documentation:
> HTTPS is not supported for GitHub Pages using custom domains.
Not unsurprising, but unfortunate.

Are you sure that's not a Gitlab EE-only feature?
