Body

I have an enterprise GitHub repository (let’s name it Repo-A) and its GitHub Pages is already occupied. Meaning it is already used. I would still want to publish the static html from Repo-A. So I have created another repository within the same organisation in which my Repo-A exists ( let’s call this one Repo-B). How can I publish static html present in Repo-A to GitHub Pages of Repo-B? Even if get a direction, I can try it out. Right now, I do not even know how to get started.

@tschaub I went through this and I am wondering if it can help me find a solution

[younes-io]

has anyone found a solution to this ? @praveenpandey02 : did that work for you ? (https://github.com/tschaub/gh-pages)

[tschaub]

@younes-io (and @praveenpandey02) you can do this using the repo option if you use the https://github.com/tschaub/gh-pages package.

since I'm using Github workflows, I guess I should use github-actions-bot as in here with the --repo option, right ?
thank you

@tschaub Could you please help on this? I've been struggling for a couple of hours to make this work, but in vain..

I have this publish.yaml in my private repo github.com/younes-io/blog.git, and I'm trying to push the build of the website (in ./docs) to the public repo blog_p like this:

- name: Deploy with gh-pages
      run: |
        npm install gh-pages
        ls -al
        git config --global user.name "github-actions-bot"
        git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
        git remote set-url origin https://git:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}@github.com/younes-io/blog_p.git
        cd ./docs/
        npx gh-pages -d . -u "github-actions-bot <[email protected]>" --repo https://github.com/younes-io/blog_p.git
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
