By default, GitHub Pages uses Jekyll (a ruby based static site generator),
|
|
but you can also publish any generated files provided you have an `index.html` file in the root of a branch called
|
|
`gh-pages` or `master`. In addition you can publish from a `docs` directory in your repository. That branch name can
|
|
also be manually changed in the settings of a repository. **However**, this only applies to publishing in a custom domain,
|
|
i.e., if you want to publish to a GitHub-provided web service under the `github.io` domain, you can **only** use the
|
|
`master` branch of your repository, as explained
|
|
[here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-github-pages),
|
|
so we will focus on the method that will work regardless of the domain.
|
|
|
|
We can use any continuous integration (CI) server to build and deploy our site. For example:
|
|
|
|
* [Github Actions](https://github.com/shalzz/zola-deploy-action)
|
|
* [Travis CI](#travis-ci)
|
|
|
|
## Travis CI
|
|
|
|
We are going to use [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org) to automatically publish the site. If you are not using Travis
|
|
already, you will need to login with the GitHub OAuth and activate Travis for the repository.
|
|
Don't forget to also check if your repository allows GitHub Pages in its settings.
|
|
|
|
## Ensure that Travis can access your theme
|
|
|
|
Depending on how you added your theme, Travis may not know how to access
|
|
it. The best way to ensure that it will have full access to the theme is to use git
|
|
submodules. When doing this, ensure that you are using the `https` version of the URL.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git submodule add {THEME_URL} themes/{THEME_NAME}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Allowing Travis to push to GitHub
|
|
|
|
Before pushing anything, Travis needs a Github private access key to make changes to your repository.
|
|
If you're already logged in to your account, just click [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens) to go to
|
|
your tokens page.
|
|
Otherwise, navigate to `Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens`.
|
|
Generate a new token and give it any description you'd like.
|
|
Under the "Select Scopes" section, give it repo permissions. Click "Generate token" to finish up.
|
|
|
|
Your token will now be visible.
|
|
Copy it into your clipboard and head back to Travis.
|
|
Once on Travis, click on your project, and navigate to "Settings". Scroll down to "Environment Variables" and input a name of `GH_TOKEN` with a value of your access token.
|
|
Make sure that "Display value in build log" is off, and then click add. Now Travis has access to your repository.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up Travis
|
|
|
|
We're almost done. We just need some scripts in a .travis.yml file to tell Travis what to do.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The script below assumes that we're taking the code from the `code` branch and will generate the HTML to be published in the `master` branch of the same repository. You're free to use any other branch for the Markdown files but if you want to use `<username>.github.io` or `<org>.github.io`, the destination branch **MUST** be `master`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
language: minimal
|
|
|
|
before_script:
|
|
# Download and unzip the zola executable
|
|
# Replace the version numbers in the URL by the version you want to use
|
|
- curl -s -L https://github.com/getzola/zola/releases/download/v0.9.0/zola-v0.9.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | sudo tar xvzf - -C /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
script:
|
|
- zola build
|
|
|
|
# If you are using a different folder than `public` for the output directory, you will
|
|
# need to change the `zola` command and the `ghp-import` path
|
|
after_success: |
|
|
[ $TRAVIS_BRANCH = code ] &&
|
|
[ $TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST = false ] &&
|
|
zola build &&
|
|
sudo pip install ghp-import &&
|
|
ghp-import -n public -b master &&
|
|
git push -fq https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/${TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG}.git master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your site is using a custom domain, you will need to mention it in the `ghp-import` command:
|
|
`ghp-import -c vaporsoft.net -n public` for example.
