Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

Getting Started with NPM (as a developer)

If you haven't already set your NPM author info, now you should:

npm set init.author.name "Your Name"
npm set init.author.email "[email protected]"
npm set init.author.url "http://yourblog.com"

npm adduser

	# this way is best if you want to stay up to date
	# or submit patches to node or npm

	mkdir ~/local
	echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
	. ~/.bashrc

	# could also fork, and then clone your own fork instead of the official one

	git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git
