This is what I have in my file metadata (for example):

permalink: my-new-filename.html
redirect_from:
  - old-file.html

When I run bundler exec jekyll serve and start a local preview server and navigate to

http://<ip-address>:4000/old-filename.html

the server correctly redirects to

http://<ip-address>:4000/my-new-filename.html

However, when the site gets built to GitHub pages, trying to access old-filename.html throws me to

https://docs.example.com/docs.example.com/my-new-filename.html

instead of

https://docs.example.com/my-new-filename.html

What am I doing wrong?

Upon further investigation, it seems like the generated URL is missing the https://...and the second docs.example.com...is a directory created for GitHub Pages? 😨

<html lang="en-US">
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Redirecting&hellip;</title>
  <link rel="canonical" href="docs.example.com/my-new-filename.html">
  <script>location="docs.qumulo.com/my-new-filename.html"</script>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=docs.qumulo.com/my-new-filename.html">
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
  <h1>Redirecting&hellip;</h1>
  <a href="docs.qumulo.com/my-new-filename.html">Click here if you are not redirected.</a>

OMG. I didn't add https:// to the url param in my _config.yml. It all works now. 🤦
