Cross-repo Netlify Webhook Build

readme.md

Netlify is rad, but one of it's shortcomings compared to GitHub pages is the inability to proxy another site as a subdirectory.

Below is a postinstall script to your main .com on Netlify. It will codeload another one of your github projects docs/sites, build it, and then move it to the correct directory so as to mimic GitHub pages.
