Github Pages Deployer

[jescalan]

So this is a github pages deployer that doesn't depend on git. It's pretty fast too.

Ok sweet, this is working correctly! A couple more things I'd like to test/verify/think about:

Ignores

Since this deployer doesn't actually use git, .gitignore files are not adhered to, although you still can ignore files by passing patterns through the ignore param as is the case with any other deployer. There isn't a node library to parse the globstar patterns in the same way as git does with gitignores, as far as I'm aware, and minimatch works slightly differently, so while we could pull in .gitignore and add it automatically to the ignores array, this might produce some inconsistencies. Any thoughts on how this should be handled are welcome.

Error Handling, Test Cases

• If the repo doesn't exist
• If your login is wrong
• If the gh-pages branch doesn't exist, but master does
• Subtrees, aliases, executables, and any other non-file-or-folder constructs

Things to Think About

• Should the commit be made from your account, or in the name of a generic "ship" account?
• Should we have any sort of versioning for deploys? Would we want to use releases?
• Would we want an option to create a PR rather than push directly to gh-pages?
