I have been waiting for this for so long that I had begun to move my user and orgs off GitHub. Some of my domains had this feature a month or two ago, but not all.
With the new IPs I also see that latency has dropped from ~130ms to ~15ms which is noticeable even on pretty simple sites.
Finally! Been following the issue for ages. So happy to see it implemented, and finally migrating my whole workflow to GitHub Pages. Seems like we may be burning the servers a bit because my certificate has been being issued for an hour, but that was somewhat expected.
I too am (patiently) waiting for the cert to be issued, having updated IPs in my A records.
Hats off to GitHub for dealing with this. For the past few years I’ve been watching the browsers take steps in the direction of HTTPS-only, and wondering how I’m going to deal with my otherwise flawless GitHub Pages hosted vanity domain / blog. Since the site is only a vanity domain and blog, I’ve been procrastinating on putting thought to this other than idly resigning myself to hosting my own server somewhere, and this is a rare example of procrastination paying off. Thank you GitHub! ;-)
For those using gitlab, https is already supported on pages but it’s a little bit manual. There is a bug tracking automatic https on pages here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996
Does anyone know what they’re using for SNI?
Can you clarify the question? I can find out; do you mean what software we run at the SSL termination layer?
Yes, that’s what I meant.
The outer-most layer is Fastly, so they terminate it for us. (Looks like they run varnish, but no idea what’s in front of that doing SSL.)
Thanks, could it be varnish subproject “hitch”? Edit; looked at fastly website, difficult to decipher, marketing copy ftw!
It could, but I have no idea. This page seems to suggest it might be a separate service, going by the wording of “separate from the caching engine”.
Extremely happy to see my website supporting https without any action on my part!

Now we just need HSTS support.
