-- table.copy( array, ... ) returns a shallow copy of array. 
-- A variable number of additional arrays can be passed in as 
-- optional arguments. If an array has a hole (a nil entry), 
-- copying in a given source array stops at the last consecutive
-- item prior to the hole.
-- 
-- Note: In Lua, the function table.concat() is equivalent 
-- to JavaScript's array.join(). Hence, the following function
-- is called copy().
table.copy = function( t, ... )

Creating a clean gh-pages branch

This is the sequence of steps to follow to create a root gh-pages branch. It is based on a question at [SO]

cd /path/to/repo-name
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/gh-pages

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
