Support /docs option with deployments about actions-gh-pages HOT 9 CLOSED

The advantage is that I can run hugo locally without having to switch branches (source and target are the same branch).

We do not have to sync our local public folder and our remote gh-pages branch. So, there is no necessary to switch branches on our local repository. If you deploy your site with the gh-pages branch, you do not have to pull the branch to your local repository.

I started this project to not manage ./public directory under the git control (main branch). The files under the ./public folder are generated files (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). We can generate those with our source content (Hugo theme and Markdown files).

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. For the people searching a workaround for the /docs, see the workaround above. For any other use case, I highly recommend this 👍

What is the advantage of the docs folder? How about migrating your docs folder to the gh-pages branch?

As a workaround, here is another action that works fine (if you are committing to the same repo):

    - name: Commit files
      run: |
        git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
        git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"
        git commit -m "Automatically generate site" -a

    - name: Push changes
      uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
      with:
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        branch: 'master'

The advantage is that I can run hugo locally without having to switch branches (source and target are the same branch). As you can see, it doesn't give me an option of the gh-pages branch (but that might be because I haven't created it yet).

We use this to generate the latest docs automatically, but sometimes (rarely), we want to to a full site update (doing all the versions we had before as well). In that case it's convenient to have a /docs instead of multiple branches.
