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).

	source "http://rubygems.org"
	group :development do
	gem 'rake'
	gem 'guard'
	gem 'coffee-script'
	gem 'rb-fsevent'
	gem 'rb-inotify'
	gem 'compass', '0.11.5'
	gem 'sass', '3.1.5'
	gem 'guard-compass'

	@-webkit-keyframes bgcolor { 0% { background-color: #ffccf2; }
	50% { background-color: #ccffcc; }
	100% { background-color: #ccffff; } }

	@-moz-keyframes bgcolor { 0% { background-color: #ffccf2; }
	50% { background-color: #ccffcc; }
	100% { background-color: #ccffff; } }

	@-ms-keyframes bgcolor { 0% { background-color: #ffccf2; }
	50% { background-color: #ccffcc; }

	#!/bin/bash

	# uses imagemagick to stich together all images in a folder.
	# ex command: ./spriter.sh rivendell-title jpg 640 400

	if [ $# -gt 3 ]
	then

	folder=$1;
	name=$1; # output will be placed in a folder named this
