Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

This manual is about setting up an automatic deploy workflow using nodejs, PM2, nginx and GitLab CI. It is tested on:

• Target server: Ubuntu 16.04 x64. This is suitable for Ubuntu 14.x.
• Windows 10 on my PC to work.

This gives you that beautiful green lock in Chrome. I'm assuming you're putting your SSL documents in /etc/ssl, but you can put them anywhere and replace the references in the following commands. Tested successfully on Mac OS Sierra and High Sierra.

sudo nano /etc/ssl/localhost/localhost.conf
