jekyll plugin to push a compiled jekyll site to its own github branch

JekyllPush

Jekyll gem plugin to push a compiled Jekyll site to a GitHub branch. Works locally or on Travis CI if you add an access token to your Travis build. Great for keeping archived copies or getting to use Jekyll Plugins and still host on GitHub pages.

Installation

Add jekyll_push to your Jekyll sites's Gemfile within the :jekyll_plugins group:

group :jekyll_plugins do
 gem 'jekyll_push'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Make sure you also add jekyll_push as a plugin to your _config.yml file:

plugins:
 - jekyll_push

Usage

$ jekyll push <branch_name> or $ bundle exec jekyll push <branch_name>

Configuration

For GitHub pages

If you run jekyll push gh-pages to use GitHub pages publishing, JekyllPush will look for a repo_name variable in your _config.yml file and try to construct a baseurl from it.

For example, if you have a repository named my_site just add:

repo_name: my_site

to your _config.yml file and JekyllPush will rebuild your site using /my_site as the baseurl before pushing it to the gh-pages branch. This lets you use JekyllPush for multiple branches and publish targets, with differing (base)url patterns.
