Github Pages workflow via a simple Makefile

Makefile

# Put this in the root directory of your repository in a file called 
# "Makefile". When you're ready to re/publish, just open terminal, cd 
# to the directory containing your repo and type "make publish". As 
# you can see, it's just a bunch of commands so you can easily add 
# more steps to this workflow. Idea by Jeff Larson

publish:
  git checkout gh-pages
  git merge master
  git push origin gh-pages
  git checkout master

.PHONY: publish 

If you're curious what the ".PHONY" line means. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2145590/what-is-the-purpose-of-phony-in-a-makefile

This is great! Can't wait to try it! Thank you.
