Gulp deploy fail

[Yago]

The deploy task doesn't work well. I have something like :

[10:57:52] Using gulpfile ~/Sites/project/gulpfile.js
[10:57:52] Starting 'deploy'...
[10:57:52] Finished 'deploy' after 83 ms
[10:57:52] [gulp-gh-pages]: Cloning repo
[10:57:52] [gulp-gh-pages]: Checkout branch `gh-pages`

    throw e;
          ^

I fix the issue by using an old version of gulp-gh-pages

"gulp-gh-pages": "^0.3.3"

and rewriting the deploy task :

var deploy = require("gulp-gh-pages"),
    options = { 
      remoteUrl: "git@github.com:user/repo.git",
      branch: "gh-pages"};

/**
 * Deploy to GH pages
 */

gulp.task('deploy', function () {
    gulp.src("styleguide/**/*.*")
        .pipe(deploy(options));
});

Maybe there is something to do in this way :wink:

In fact, the task works also with the current version of gulp-gh-pages. No need to downgrade :+1:

It's working perfectly well if you set correctly the upstream branch of your current branch.

As said in the gulp-gh-pages docs:

By default gulp-gh-pages assumes the current working directory is a git repository and uses its remote url. If your gulpfile.js is not in a git repository, or if you want to push to a different remote url, you can specify it. Ensure you have write access to the repository. https://github.com/rowoot/gulp-gh-pages#optionsremoteurl
