Add DNS entry to re-connect learn.github.com about learn.github.com HOT 9 CLOSED

@github/training-team Just FYI guys that this was moved from the learn account on GitHub under the github account, but now needs DNS to get it back live.

from learn.github.com.

Actually, DNS is all set, it needs pages built. Under the learn account, a repo called learn.github.com is a User pages repo, but under the GitHub account it's just a normal repo and needs content to be pushed to the gh-pages branch like so:

https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages

from learn.github.com.

@jnewland github.github.com/learn.github.com redirects to http://gitref.org/

I pushed the gh-pages branch and included the CNAME file, but I don't know if this is going to work.

One issue with pages is that it requires the above long address. "learn.github.com" alone won't work, unless we setup redirection to hit it properly.

from learn.github.com.

Pages just rebuilt the CNAME map file. Looks good to me?

from learn.github.com.

Redirect in a script in the index.html, has @jnewland pointed out to me in campfire. :facewall:

from learn.github.com.

Yup. Knew that. But that's Scott C's doing a while ago as the history shows. The other content is still there and can be displayed. But just not by browsing to the domain name, but rather to the specific content. I'd like to re-use some of the content here in our offerings. Many things on the web still link to the old pages and I broke them with the move of the repo. Mea culpa.

@matthewmccullough I think that, if we want this to be a real portal, we start from scratch and build it up nicely. I'm all for using stuff from the past, but I'd love for "learn.github.com" to be a portal where people can come and, well, learn.

I'd also like the same for teach.github.com, to provide access to good stuff for people to use for their teaching.

Yup. Re-use in the sense of some of the modular lessons. Not look, feel, nor organization for the reasons you noted.

I've deleted the master branch and the two branch and changed the default page to gh-pages via the admin page for clarity.
