@ -196,6 +196,33 @@ To build all draft posts *(If you only have drafts, no site will be generated)*
Now I can replace the last four items from our workflow list with a single command `bash deploy.sh`. This script accepts as an optional argument the commit message that git should use when committing your changes. If you wish to include a custom commit message, do so by putting it quotes after calling bash on the script: `bash deploy.sh "<my commit msg>"`. If you choose not to specify the commit message, one will be generated for you using the current time.
## Configure `git` Workflow, the Alternate Way
The above uses a `git subtree` to deploy to Gits `gh-pages` branch. This works great, but with one drawback: It requires the generated content to be committed to the source branch.
There's another approach:
1. Set up your Hugo-site on `master`
2. Create an orphaned `gh-pages` branch. (See [here](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-project-pages-manually/) for more information.)
3. Follow the instructions below.
So, assuming you have your `gh-pages` set up, and `master` has a commit with some content you want to publish:
```
# Fetch the deployment script into the root of your source tree, make it executable.
wget https://github.com/X1011/git-directory-deploy/raw/master/deploy.sh && chmod +x deploy.sh
# For setting it up to build to a folder other than "dist", see the options in deploy.sh.
# Build the site to /dist.
hugo -d dist
# Run the deploy.sh script installed above.
./deploy.sh
```
This will use the last commit as a base for the commit message to the `gh-pages` branch.
For more information about the deployment script, see this [README](https://github.com/X1011/git-directory-deploy).
