Is it possible to use HTTPS/SSL on GitHub Pages sites with a custom domain?

Custom domains on GitHub Pages do support HTTPS / SSL:

GitHub Pages has supported custom domains since 2009, and sites on the *.github.io domain have supported HTTPS since 2016. Today, custom domains on GitHub Pages are gaining support for HTTPS as well, meaning over a million GitHub Pages sites will be served over HTTPS.

Prior to May 1, 2018, SSL was supported by GitHub Pages only on sites using a *.github.io domain: https://help.github.com/articles/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https/


It's now possible to use HTTPS on GitHub Pages sites with a custom domain

If you are using CNAME or ALIAS records for your custom domain, you’re all set and your site should be accessible over HTTPS.

If you are using A records, you must update your site’s DNS records with new IP addresses. Please see our guide to setting up your custom domain with Pages and update any A records you might have set.

Once you have HTTPS working:

You can optionally “Enforce HTTPS” for your domain in your repository’s settings, ensuring users who request your site over HTTP are upgraded to HTTPS.
