But the domain is github.com, which has a valid ssl cert. You only need cloudflare to get it on your own domain.

Right, but Cloudflare doesn't actually check if the cert is valid, unless you enable Strict mode, which you can't because you'd need Github to serve a cert for your own domain.

Are you sure? Wouldn't it check to see that the cert is valid for github.com, not for your own domain, since that's the origin?

Edit: Looks like you're correct. Sorry!
