Deploy to GitHub Pages with Travis-CI

[cmccandless]

As primary content of this repository is, this is an excellent candidate for using GitHub Pages.

Benefits:

• Optional theme
• Faster load time
  • No need to load GitHub site itself
  • Markdown is pre-rendered as HTML

See the following links for details on setup (automatic deployment will require maintainer action)

• GitHub Pages documentation
• Travis deployment to gh-pages

Hi I would like to work on this issue. I will update here once I have some progress 😃

Need to know about any other solutions

Feel free to work on it. My requirements are:

• No extra files in the main branch
• No need for me to update the jekyll pages branch when I update the main branch
• An easily customizable theme, preferably one of the default ones

Hi,
I am new to this, can someone tell me if I am doing things right? This is what I have done so far.

I added the following code to travis.yml

deploy:
  provider: pages
  skip-cleanup: true
  github-token: $GITHUB_TOKEN  # I added my repos secret key here
  keep-history: true
  on:
    branch: gh-pages

I have been testing this process on my forked repo using travis CI. Travis CI needs a personal access token for the repository we are doing deployment for.
Now every time I run make a push, Travis CI executes the yaml file and creates a build.

And for the github pages part of it, we have to go to the repository settings and set it up. Also the theme chooser is situated there, where I chose the theme.

I have created a PR with the above changes. Do tell if it does the job. #244

@k88hudson Are you still interested in maintaining this repository?

I went ahead and forked this repo and deployed it myself. I have not and will not modify any of the content, and plan to delete my fork when/if this repo deploys.

Looks good to me! Hopefully we can deploy it too. I would, but I don't have access at the moment.

I'd encourage anyone who wants to see this content to check out firstaidgit.io, too. A beautiful website made by my friend Ricardo that also has this content.
