Hello. I've been looking for a solution to a problem, but can't seem to find one. I am new to git, so may be missing something.
* I have a project hosted on GitHub * The code is in the "master" branch. * I also have web pages in the "gh-pages" branch. * The documentation is auto-generated from the code (in this case by Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/), but it doesn't really matter how.) and this includes a HTML version. * I want the html auto-generated documentation to be in the "gh-pages" branch so that it is published to the web. * I do not want anything else to be in the "gh-pages" branch. * I want to be able to generate new documentation from the "master" branch code and put it in the "gh-pages" branch for publication. * How do I do this? I've tried using cherry-pick but that looks for specific commits which isn't what I want and is fiddly to use. I've tried using different .gitignore and excludesfiles configurations, but cant get it to apply to one branch (as described http://cogniton-mind.tumblr.com/post/1423976659/howto-gitignore-for-different-branches ) I've tried using git pull to pull copies of the documentation into the gh-pages branch from the master branch, but that doesn't keep history. I could set up two local repositories and have a script copy things from one to the other, but that seems inelegant to me. Any other suggestions / tips? Wouldn't think this would be too unusual a workflow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
