Set subdirectory as website root on Github Pages

Question

I\'m using Github Pages to host & serve a static website.

The static website has the typical directory structure for an app:

|_ source
|_ build
          


        

Answer 1

Somehow for me, the accepted answer only runs the first time. Re-doing it throws errors.

I solved it by running the commands below:

git checkout --orphan gh-pages
git --work-tree build add --all
git --work-tree build commit -m 'gh-pages'
git push origin HEAD:gh-pages --force
git checkout -f master
