javascript - Is there a configuration in Github Pages that allows you to redirect everything to index.html for a Single Page App?

Question

I'm trying to post my SPA app that works fine locally but when I push it to Github Pages, the interior pages don't register if you navigate to them directly.

For example http://USER.github.io/PROJECT_NAME/ works but http://USER.github.io/PROJECT_NAME/about doesn't because theres no redirect or rewrite. The index.html is located at the root of the project.

Github pages allows you to create a 404.html page that will be shown each time ... there is a 404 error. If http://USER.github.io/PROJECT_NAME/about doesn't exists, it will show your 404.html content with the "not found" url as window.location.

So, this page can contain a script that redirect to a hashbang style route. eg : react router, even using clean urls (browserHistory) can understand a route like PROJECT_NAME/#/about and will automatically push to PROJECT_NAME/about.

That's ugly !
