I have a basic jekyll site consisting of pages (not posts) but, because I wanted to sort the pages when I listed them, I had to use the Jekyll-Sort plugin (kinda weird sorting pages is not built in to jekyll).
Because I'm using a plugin, I can't leverage GitHub's auto jekylling. So I'd like to push the source code of the project to the master branch and just the _site directory to the gh-pages branch.
I can't figure out how to do this - I tried adding a git repo inside the _site directory to push that to gh-pages but every time I run jekyll it erases that entire directory and I lose the .git folder.
Any suggestions? Or a way to natively sort?
A less painful solution:
- Checkout your branch, where your build-source is located (maybe
src, ormaster) - (Optional: Add
_siteto your.gitconfig, so it get's ignored, if not already done) Remove all content of the
_sitedirectory:$ rm -r _site/*Clone your repo's
gh-pagesbranch into the_sitedirectory:$ git clone -b gh-pages `git config remote.origin.url` _site
Final steps: Just let jekyll build, do commit & push:
$ jekyll build,
cd into _site:
$ cd _site,
target all files for commit:
$ git add -A,
commit them:
git commit -am 'Yeah. Built from subdir'
and push your site to GitHub-Pages:
git push.
I did this for a while myself with a shell script.
Solution 1.
Create a .gitignore that excludes the _site/ folder. Then have your shell script check whether you are on master, if so, add all changed files and commit them. Then move the _site/ folder to a temporary folder. Switch to the gh-pages branch and copy the temporary folder over. Add all and commit. Push both master & gh-pages branch.
Solution 2. Copy the contents of the _site/ folder to another repo that is an exact clone of the repo you are working with but checked out on the gh-pages branch. Then simply push the master branch from the source repo and the gh-pages branch from the other repo
