I recently created a GitHub account and website for a group project with the following format:
https://abc123.github.io/
Due to changes outside my control, the name of the website should now be of the following format:
https://abc124.github.io/
Since we have already used our old website name (https://abc123.github.io/) publicly, we want to not entirely destroy that link, but simply have it redirect to the new website (https://abc124.github.io/).
My plan is to 1) clone the abc123 repository, 2) open a new GitHub account abc124, 3) push the old clone to the new GitHub account abc124, change the old repository to have a message asking users to click on a link connecting them to https://abc124.github.io/. The downside of this is that I now unnecessarily have TWO GitHub accounts and users are bothered to have to click on a link.
I would like to ask if anyone has ideas on a better method. What is the neatest and easiest way to achieve this?
