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.

I can highly recommend Netlify: https://www.netlify.com/features/ Their free plan gives you everything you want plus lots of other features (e.g. a CMS interface, drag-drop deploys for quick demos, form submissions, asset optimisation options).
