build GitHub Pages in the same repo #21

Closed constantx closed 11 years ago

I'm trying to use punch-blog with GitHub, and keep the source and built files in the same repo.

One way I've been doing is keep the source files under _src and make "output_dir": "../" This is ok with github pages for user/organization using {user/organization}.github.io

However, I'm not quite sure how to do the same thing, but use gh-pages to build project pages instead. Any hint?

You can create a orphaned gh-pages branch and setup a new Punch project there. Set the output_dir to the root (.).

Check the Punch's gh-pages branch to learn how to structure the project. - https://github.com/laktek/punch/blob/gh-pages

Thanks @laktek

I thought about that too, was looking for a solution that can keep the source and built files in the same repo, but in different branches.

looks like generated site are using absolute path for assets (pointing to / for css and js), so when page are built via gh-pages branch and access via username.github.io/project-name, the path is incorrect.

Anyway around this?

Also, when publishing to GitHub via gh-pages, the output folder is a subdirectory of the repo /output, is there a trick to push the content of this folder to the root of the repo on gh-pages branch?
