github_pages 2.0.0

Publish to a gh-pages branch on GitHub (or any other branch on any other remote)

github_pages

Publish files to a gh-pages branch on GitHub (or any other branch anywhere else). Dart port of the NodeJS gh-pages package.

Getting Started

Install it globally from the command line.

$ dart pub global activate github_pages

Or add it to your pubspec.yaml file as a dev dependency.

dev_dependencies:
  github_pages: ^2.0.0

Usage

For example, to publish your web application, you must generate a release build and then run the package with the required directory.

$ flutter build web
$ flutter pub run github_pages -d build/web

Calling this script will create a temporary clone of the current repository, create a gh-pages branch if one doesn't already exist, copy over all files from the base path, or only those that match patterns from the optional src configuration, commit all changes, and push to the origin remote.

If a gh-pages branch already exists, it will be updated with all commits from the remote before adding any commits from the provided src files.

Note that any files in the gh-pages branch that are not in the src files will be removed. See the add option if you don't want any of the existing files removed.

Options

The default options work for simple cases. The options described below let you push to alternate branches, customize your commit messages and more.

$ flutter pub run github_pages --help
