Assumptions:

  • You want to push to the root of the gh-pages branch.
  • Your GitHub repo is configured to serve the root of your gh-pages branch.
  • Output directory is build.

Rather than adding to a .sh script, add to Makefile.

  • `Makefile 
      deploy:
      git worktree add /tmp/build gh-pages

      rm -rf /tmp/build/*
      cp -rp build/* /tmp/build/

      cd /tmp/build \
          && git add -A \
          && git commit -m "ci: deploy on $(shell date) by ${USER}" \
          && git push origin gh-pages

Then run this either locally or your CI steps such as on GitHub Actions.

$ make deploy
