I'm using gh pages for my site, on a custom domain. I really don't want to use cloudflare or similar services for personal reasons. Afaict there's not really any other option though :/ I'd love it if GitHub were able to provide me with a LetsEncrypt cert. I've written to them about this before, but they said there was nothing planned yet.

FWIW, I use Gitlab Pages for the same, and they allow you to provide your own cert (be it LetsEncrypt or otherwise). This has become a good bit easier to administer since LE added support for DNS verification, bit you're right, it would be cool to see these providers adding in built LE automated certs.

I've been doing the same. Unfortunately, it seems that if I want to update my cert I have to remove the domain and then add it back in.

Are you aware of a workaround? Otherwise, I agree with the ease now that LE supports DNS verification. I just wish we could edit existing domains in Gitlab.
