I have org files in a github repository and using
project pages future. Exporting org files
to html for use in gh-pages like this;

  • editing org files on master branch and committing
  • exporting html to a temporary directory
  • changing branch to gh-pages
  • copying files from temporary directory and committing

is there a way of exporting directly to gh-pages branch without
this export/change branch/copy cycle?

    I fixed problem with using git submodules. Now I can export my org files to folder under master respository. This folder is in fact a submodule of same repositories gh-pages branch. You can examine my org-publish-project-alist in repository and page. Now my development cycle;

    • Edit in master then export html
    • Add, push in gh-pages directory
    • Add, push in master root directory

    Firstly I added gh-pages branch as told in github then added gh-pages branch as submodule:

    [slmn@uriel org-test](gh-pages)$ git checkout master
[slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ git submodule add -b gh-pages git@github.com:selman/org-test.git gh-pages
[slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ git commit -m "branch added as submodule"

    Exported index.org as html to gh-pages directory:

    [slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ cd gh-pages/
[slmn@uriel gh-pages](gh-pages)$ git add .
[slmn@uriel gh-pages](gh-pages)$ git commit -m "pages updated"
[slmn@uriel gh-pages](gh-pages)$ git push

    Changed submodule added to master:

    [slmn@uriel gh-pages](gh-pages)$ cd ..
[slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ git add .
[slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ git commit -m "pages updated"
[slmn@uriel org-test](master)$ git push
