detroit-github - github services for detroit
The GitHub tool provides services tied to your project's github repository. Presently it only supports gh-pages publishing.
The following options can be used in Detroit assembly files for defining a github service.
remote - The remote to use (defaults to 'origin').
message - Commit message.
sitemap - List of directories and files to transfer.
If a single directory entry is given then the contents
of that directory will be transfered. Defaults to site,
website or doc.
keep - List of any files/directory to not overwrite in branch.
If you keep your website in a project subdirectory called either
site, web, website or www, and failing those, doc or docs,
then the defaults settings are likely sufficiant.
github:
active: true
If the files to copy to the gh-pages branch are more entailed, use
a mapping of source to destination. For example, if we want to copy
all the files in site/ to gh-pages, but also all the files in doc/
to a directory called doc we could use:
github:
sitemap:
site: .
doc: doc
However, this isn't usually necessary, since a soft link could be used instead.
$ ln -s doc site/doc
You can check soft-links into with git and they will be transfered as
if the real file when copied to the gh-pages file. So a more complex
sitemap is really only needed when more specific selections or
complex globs are needed.
