Is that coming back with a HTTP 200 response though and the made up HTML page? That doesn't seem right... at least, I dunno if google and such would actually index your page at the new URL vs. just thinking "huh weird looks like blog.eowyn.net is now called '301 Moved Permanently', better trash that down in the rankings".

It shows up as a proper 301 when I load up the URL in Firefox. The question is, how?

One of the Jekyll plugins that GH Pages supports[0] is jekyll-redirect-from, which lets you put a `redirect_to` entry in a page's front matter.

I found this example of another repo that is using the same trick: https://github.com/kotokaze/kotokaze.github.io

    ~ % curl -i 'https://kotokaze.github.io/'
    HTTP/2 301 
    server: GitHub.com
    content-type: text/html
    permissions-policy: interest-cohort=()
    location: http://github.kotokaze.net/

For the latter, `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=https://blog.eowyn.net/vhdlref" />` in the `<head>`

Wow, nice yeah I'd love to know how github supports configuring a URL to 301 redirect!
