gulp plugin to publish contents to Github pages

Installation

Use npm.

npm install --save-dev gulp-gh-pages

Usage

Define a deploy task in your gulpfile.js (as below) which can be used to push to gh-pages going forward.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var ghPages = require('gulp-gh-pages');

gulp.task('deploy', function() {
  return gulp.src('./dist/**/*')
    .pipe(ghPages());
});

Now, you should be able to call your task by doing:

gulp deploy

The branch where deploy will by done. Change to "master" for username.github.io projects.

options.cacheDir

Default: .publish

Set the directory path to keep a cache of the repository. If it doesn't exist, gulp-gh-pages automatically create it.

Allow you to make a build on the defined branch without pushing it to master. Useful for dry run.

Force adding files to the gh-pages branch, even if they are ignored by .gitignore or .gitignore_global.
