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).

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.

# git-mv-with-history -- move/rename file or folder, with history.
#
# Moving a file in git doesn't track history, so the purpose of this
# utility is best explained from the kernel wiki:
#
#   Git has a rename command git mv, but that is just for convenience.
#   The effect is indistinguishable from removing the file and adding another
#   with different name and the same content.

# NOTE: These instructions do not represent a robust, self-troubleshooting install; they
# are definitely not suitable for dumping to a giant script and running as one. If you 
# use them, they should be run one at a time, with an eye out for errors or problems
# along the way.

# The #1 issue you are likely to encounter is with Homebrew or Python packages whose
# binary components link against system Python. This will result in runtime segfaults,
# especially in rviz. If you suspect this is occurring, you can attempt to remove and
# reinstall the offending packages, or go for the nuclear option--- empty your Cellar
# and site-packages folders and start over with brewed python from the beginning.
