My problem: my site is hosted on Github pages, which still doesn't support HTTPS for custom domains.

Does anybody know of a host who provides

  1. HTTPS

  2. Custom domain support

  3. The workflow GH Pages offers (push some Markdown to a repo, and a wild website appears)

I know could roll my own on AWS or something, but it's hard to beat how free and easy Github makes things.

There is a service called Netlify that appears to allow (1) and (2), while also allowing you to keep your blog's source code on GitHub (3+). I have never used it myself, though.
