You are correct that using a CNAME to point " Your stated goal is to "point the bare domain to the www version", but it's actually more specific than that; you don't want to point everything (including email), you really most likely only want to redirect HTTP traffic. If that's true, and what you really want is just to redirect HTTP traffic so that the bare domain can be used in a browser, then you will want to use an HTTP Redirect application, not a CNAME record.

If you set up a 301 HTTP redirect like this, then your users will see the "USER.github.io" domain name in their browser URL bar when they get to your site.
