1. Create master repository
2. Following commands this below

(master) $ git clone https://github.com/agusmakmun/csf-blocker.git
(master) $ cd csf-blocker/
(master) $ git branch                               # to check the exited branch, default is: `master`
(master) $ nano .gitignore                          # add `docs/` inside it.
(master) $ git add .
(master) $ git commit -m "exluded the folder of docs/ from master branch"
(master) $ git push origin master

Don't forget to add docs/ into your .gitignore (master). This to makesure the folder of /docs/ isn't included whenever you push at master branch.

(master)   $ mkdir docs/                              # example sub folder
(master)   $ cp -R .git/ docs/                        # to copying default `.git` config from master.
(gh-pages) $ cd docs/                                 # to go to `/csf-blocker/docs/`
(gh-pages) $ git branch gh-pages                      # to create new branch
(gh-pages) $ git checkout gh-pages                    # to switch as `gh-pages`
(gh-pages) $ touch .gitignore                         # initial .gitignore for `gh-pages`
                                                      # and then, create your project.
(gh-pages) $ git add .                                # add your `.gitignore` and others.
(gh-pages) $ git commit -m 'Initial launch for docs'  # commit name
(gh-pages) $ git push origin gh-pages                 # to push to your gh-pages branch

And then, checkout at your branch, example:

• all branch: https://github.com/agusmakmun/csf-blocker/branches
• gh-pages branch: https://github.com/agusmakmun/csf-blocker/tree/gh-pages

To switch as master branch again, you should do this:

(gh-pages) $ cd ..                                     # to back to your master project
(master)   $ git checkout master                       # to switch as master branch
                                                       # and then, change your master project.
(master)   $ git add .                                 # to add your changed files.
(master)   $ git commit -m "I'm come back in master"   # commit name
(master)   $ git push origin master                    # to push to your master branch

If your gh-pages is as github pages, the domain name is agusmakmun.github.io/csf-blocker

To delete the branch, you can do with this:

$ git branch -d {branch_name}
$ # example
$ git branch -d gh-pages
