I use a trick I got from this page: http://happygiraffe.net/blog/2009/07/04/publishing-a-subdirectory-to-github-pages/
You keep all of the gh-pages content in a directory in the master branch, from which it is copied to the gh-pages branch. I just run this script after I've updated the contents of the www/ directory: https://github.com/roban/CosmoloPy/blob/master/commit_www.bash The only problem I have with this system is remembering to run the the script before I push to github. -Roban On Feb 25, 6:25 pm, Adam Faulconbridge <afaulconbri...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hello.
