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>`
