URL rewriting with Github Pages

Read Original

This article explains a clever technique for implementing URL rewriting on GitHub Pages to create user-friendly URLs. By using a custom 404.html file with JavaScript, the author demonstrates how to redirect clean URLs (like play.csssecrets.io/pie-animated) to external resources or other pages, effectively mimicking server-side routing in a static site environment.
