Regarding testing that transfering the repos to leekgroup
doesn't break the urls at jtleek.com, here is how you can test it.
I made https://github.com/lcolladotor/testCNAME that has a gh-pages
branch. Instead of transferring ownership I forked the repo to leekgroup
at https://github.com/leekgroup/testCNAME which emulates transferring the repo. Next at leekgroup/testCNAME
I added a CNAME file https://github.com/leekgroup/testCNAME/commit/13ecfa8798fe93c97ec24285379ca5d749e77368. For now, you can view the html at http://leekgroup.github.io/testCNAME/ but not at http://jtleek.com/testCNAME. In order for the file to be viewable at http://jtleek.com/testCNAME, according to https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/ you have to configure your DNS provider to redirect both jtleek.github.io and leekgroup.github.io to jtleek.com. Once you do that, http://jtleek.com/testCNAME should work.
Although, really the easiest option would be to transfer https://github.com/jtleek/jtleek.github.io and rename the repo to be called leekgroup.github.io
. Then because that repo would be the organization repo and has a CNAME file, everything would work.
Note that if you transfer jtleek/jtleek.github.io
you will also need to transfer the other repos you have under jtleek
that have gh-pages
branches if you want them to be viewable at http://jtleek.com
Contacted support, and the only option would be to transfer jtleek/jtleek.github.io
to leekgroup
and rename it leekgroup/leekgroup.github.io
. You'll probably also have to update your DNS.
Should be quite straight forward.
I think I may just transfer the protocols repo but none of the other repos
Jeff, I think that you can transfer this repo as well as many of your other repos to https://github.com/leekgroup
I believe that this won't mess up any of the forks people have made and the like (see this). Although any docs with links like http://jtleek.com/protocols/ will have to change them to http://leekgroup.github.io/protocols/ Unless you:
leekgroup
and rename the repoleekgroup.github.io
leekgroup
that have agh-pages
branch.Some refs:
