Jekyll simple workflow to use custom a plugin on Github pages

Workflow

Mainly following Alexandre Rademaker's guide.

• Checkout to source branch, where we write things with a custom plugin.

git checkout source

• Writing things, commit and push the changes
• Build site into _site folder, _site folder should be in the .gitignore of the source branch

bundle exec jekyll serve

• Change to master branch, add .nojekyll as one include in the _config.yml

git checkout master
cp -r _site/* . && rm -rf _site/ && touch .nojekyll
git add .
git commit
git push --all origin

Note

In another guide by Drew Silcock, the _site folder itself is linked the remote origin/master, however, as of right now, --set-upstream is not workin in git anymore.
