Consider making stray website redirect to fido website

I just started using stray/fido after checking it out a few months ago, during which time the name change occurred, and (just for a minute) found it a little confusing that there are now two repositories and websites. A minor annoyance is that googling "Justin Silverman fido" actually still only shows me the stray website and not the fido website. One thing that might help new users find the correct website would be to disable Github Pages on the stray repo and set up a redirect following these instructions https://gist.github.com/domenic/1f286d415559b56d725bee51a62c24a7.

You might have had a reason for keeping the stray repo separate, but for the future in case you weren't aware, if you renamed the repository from stray to fido within Github (instead of making a copy) then Github would automatically set up a redirect from https://github.com/jsilve24/stray to https://github.com/jsilve24/fido and you'd keep your Issue history. (But this would not set up a redirect for the Github pages site)
