Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with Travis

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

Create a compile script

You want a script that does a local compile to e.g. an out/ directory. Let's call this compile.sh for our purposes, but for your project it might be npm build or gulp make-docs or anything similar.

The out/ directory should contain everything you want deployed to gh-pages. That almost always includes an index.html.

	Wrote a function to CamelCase a string in JavaScript. Because, AFAIK, CamelCasing applies only to programming, the function makes sure the string conforms to a legal variable name standard, removing all illegal characters, as well as making sure the string starts with a letter (not a number or an underscore.)

	You can add the function to the String object prototype:

	String.prototype.toCamelCase = function() {
	// remove all characters that should not be in a variable name
	// as well underscores an numbers from the beginning of the string
	var s = this.replace(/([^a-zA-Z0-9_\- ])\|^[_0-9]+/g, "").trim().toLowerCase();
	// uppercase letters preceeded by a hyphen or a space
	s = s.replace(/([ -]+)([a-zA-Z0-9])/g, function(a,b,c) {

	location: "test_list",
	// The HTML attribute that should be added to a template element in the list.
	// It will need to be unique and will contain a single value, like an id, not a class.
