Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout - a step-by-step guide.

Intro

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout.

IMPORTANT

If you plan on switching between different branches (e.g. git checkout master-experiment then revert back with git checkout master) you will loose your child folder from this tutorial (because it's in your .gitignore and is not part of your master branch).

Sass+Compass, Guard, LiveReload

This will enable Sass+Compass with LiveReload through Guard. (Guard screen cast)

You will also need a browser component to communicate with LiveReload. (browser extension, livereload.js)

If you prefer going through a GUI, that option is available. The following instructions is specific to Mac OS X and it works through the command line.

Note that this is not specific to Rails projects. This can work for any standalone front-end project.
