Epic: Move website to custom domain https://macvim.org #1385

Closed

Description

@ychin

Currently the canonical URL for MacVim's web page is https://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/, since it's using the default GitHub Pages configuration. We have a domain (macvim.org) registered but it has just been doing a redirect forwarding to the above URL.

We should move to making https://macvim.org/ the canonical URL instead using GitHub Page's custom domain. It's easier to remember and less awkward to type, and looks more canonical as a website. Hosting it from the top-level domain also allows us to be more flexible in controlling it for the future, including if we want to move the website off from GitHub Pages instead of being tied to a particular service.

Also see #48 which set up the GitHub pages.

    Should be all done now. Don't see any glaring issues but hopefully DNS propagates quickly enough that people using MacVim won't see an error when they try to check for updates.
