What is gh-pages?

The gh-pages npm package is a utility for deploying projects to GitHub Pages. It simplifies the process of publishing content to a GitHub repository's gh-pages branch, which is used to serve static sites directly from the repository.

What are gh-pages's main functionalities?

Deploying to GitHub Pages

This feature allows you to deploy the contents of a directory (in this case, 'dist') to the gh-pages branch of your repository. The callback function handles any errors that occur during the deployment process.

const ghpages = require('gh-pages');
ghpages.publish('dist', function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Deployment failed:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Deployment successful!');
  }
});

Customizing Deployment

This feature allows you to customize the deployment by specifying options such as the branch to deploy to, the repository URL, and user information for the commit.

const ghpages = require('gh-pages');
ghpages.publish('dist', {
  branch: 'custom-branch',
  repo: 'https://github.com/user/repo.git',
  user: {
    name: 'Your Name',
    email: 'your-email@example.com'
  }
}, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Deployment failed:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Deployment successful!');
  }
});

Cleaning Up Before Deployment

This feature allows you to clean up the local cache before deploying. This can be useful to ensure that no old files are left over from previous deployments.

const ghpages = require('gh-pages');
ghpages.clean();
ghpages.publish('dist', function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Deployment failed:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Deployment successful!');
  }
});
