If there is a way that you can keep the GitHub Pages for now, then you can set the canonical url of the page to the new website. Google won't punish you (as much) for it. I don't know if this would help in your case, but it might safe your SEO.

I'm not sure if it helps. Normally, Google shows the higher domain rank site even the canonicals are set. (Try publishing a post on your blog and DEV on the same day. DEV post will appear even you add canonical).
The recommended way is using the domain migrate tool in the Google search console. However, you cannot do that because it's on Guthub.io
I cannot be really sure about that, so I create both
index.mdand404.mdwith the same contents, just in case.And of course,
How do I ensure that the code is really 301?
Hey! I got this idea.
Github allows you to set custom domain right? (Tutorial)
Add a custom domain first. Then, your Github will automatically redirect your traffic to custom domain (I think).
After that, set up Google search console and add your domain.
After that, you can migrate to whatever host you need. You don't have to redirect because the domain is the same.
What do you think?
Not sure if I understand, but every steps, like pointing domain to GitHub seems to take time...
Can't do that with GitHub Pages BTW. It just has to be either 200 (found a file) or
404.html.Not working for non-root. It still says 404. (Although it does redirect, and says 301 later.)

Pretty Cool!
