I am using the gem "jekyll-assets" on my site and it fails when pushing to github pages. I have read that a way around this is to build the site locally, which builds just fine, and then push it to github pages. The examples of people doing this, however, are using a project repository and they are pushing the site to a "gh-pages" branch. I am doing this site for myself and the setup for this suggests using the master branch under the repo .github.io. How do I push a local jekyl build to a site with this setup?
You need to push only the content of the _site folder. Nothing else, nor the folder itself.
If you are setting up a project site, push the content to the gh-pages branch. If it's your user website, the repo must be named username.github.io and your site root needs to be the master branch.
Let me know how it goes! :)
Hope to have helped!
Here a windows batch file that pushes generated files back to github. Name it site_publish.bat and put it into the root of your project.
@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
rmdir _site /s /q
call jekyll build
git --git-dir=.git --work-tree=_site add --all
git --git-dir=.git --work-tree=_site commit -m "autogen: update site"
git --git-dir=.git --work-tree=_site push
You may want to try jgd command line, which automates all the steps suggested by other answers, in one simple call:
$ jgd
The site will be packaged and then deployed to the gh-pages branch of your repo, provided you have all permissions configured. More about it in this blog post of mine: Deploy Jekyll to GitHub Pages
