StaticDeploy

Rake tasks to ease publishing a static website via git to a remote repository (e.g. GitHub pages).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'static_deploy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install static_deploy

In Rakefile add the following:

require 'static_deploy'

ENV['GENERATOR'] = 'jekyll'  # => static website generator executable
ENV['COMMAND']   = 'build'   # => command for building a project, defaults to 'build'

When deploying inside the current repository, git defaults are used to get username and repository name:

bundle exec rake site:publish

Otherwise, to publish to remote branch in the different repository do:

bundle exec rake site:publish["username/repository"]

As a convenience you may want to add the following rake task to your Rakefile:

desc 'publish this site'
task :publish do
  Rake::Task['site:publish'].invoke("username/repository")
end

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Everyone interacting in the StaticDeploy project's codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.
