March 23, 2025 — 3 Min Read

GitHub Pages is a fantastic platform for hosting static websites directly from your GitHub repository. It’s simple, free, and perfect for personal portfolios, project documentation, and small business landing pages. However, as your projects evolve, you might find yourself needing to move content, or even switch to a new domain. This is where redirects become essential.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into why you might need redirects on your GitHub Pages site and provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to implement them effectively.
