There's the obvious method of using [GitHub's post-receive hook][github-post] to trigger doc builds and rsync to a webserver, but we ended up wanting to try out github's hosting to make the whole interface a bit more robust. [GitHub Pages][gh-pages] is a pretty awesome service that GitHub provides for hosting project documentation. The only thing is that it requires a `gh-pages` branch that is the site's document root. This means that keeping documentation sources in the branch with code is a bit difficult. And it really turns into a head scratcher for things like [Sphinx][sphinx] that want to access documentation sources and code sources at the same time. Then we stumbled across an interesting looking package called [github-tools][github-tools] that looked almost like what we wanted. It was a tad complicated and more involved than we wanted but it gave us an idea. Why not just write a script that can copy a directory to the `gh-pages` branch of the repository. This saves us from even having to think about the branch and everything becomes magical. This is what `ghp-import` was written for.

If you love it, you'll want to take backups before playing with this. This script assumes that `gh-pages` is 100% derivative. You should never edit files in your `gh-pages` branch by hand if you're using this script because you will lose your work. When used with a prefix, only files below the set prefix will be destroyed, limiting the above warning to just that directory and everything below it. Usage ----- ``` Usage: ghp-import [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY Options: -n, --no-jekyll Include a .nojekyll file in the branch. -c CNAME, --cname=CNAME Write a CNAME file with the given CNAME. -m MESG, --message=MESG The commit message to use on the target branch. -p, --push Push the branch to origin/{branch} after committing. -x PREFIX, --prefix=PREFIX The prefix to add to each file that gets pushed to the remote. Only files below this prefix will be cleared out. [none] -f, --force Force the push to the repository. -o, --no-history Force new commit without parent history. -r REMOTE, --remote=REMOTE The name of the remote to push to. [origin] -b BRANCH, --branch=BRANCH Name of the branch to write to. [gh-pages] -s, --shell Use the shell when invoking Git. [False] -l, --follow-links Follow symlinks when adding files. [False] -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` Its pretty simple. Inside your repository just run `ghp-import $DOCS_DIR` where `$DOCS_DIR` is the path to the **built** documentation. This will write a commit to your `gh-pages` branch with the current documents in it.
