gulp-build-branch

Publish a folder to a given branch (like gh-pages).

This plugin initializes a separate git repo in your build folder which it then git fetches into your main repo. This means your working copy doesn't get clobbered.

PR's welcome!

Usage

First, install gulp-build-branch as a development dependency:

npm install gulp-build-branch --save-dev

Then, use it in a Gulp task like this:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var buildBranch = require('gulp-build-branch');

gulp.task('githubPages', ['build'], function() {
  return buildBranch({ folder: 'dist' });
});
