Re: Google--if you use a CNAME for your site on GitHub pages, will your site also show up as name.github.io in google search results?

It shouldn't: name.github.io → example.com is a 301 redirect. However, https://github.com/name/name.github.io/blog/master/* and https://github.com/name/name.github.io/tree/master/* will show up in Google searches.

Here's an example, using the atmos.org example the GitHub Pages documentation uses: https://www.google.com/search?q=Saying+how+it+was+%E2%80%9Cs...

One result for atmos.org, and then a duplicate result for https://github.com/atmos/atmos.github.io/blob/master. Here's a screenshot in case you see something different: http://i.imgur.com/TavoyuW.png

The only way to prevent that from happening is to avoid using a branch named "master" in your repository.
