Sphinx on GitHub Pages¶
Everything in the previous approach to blogging still applies. The new item on the menu is replacing Google App Engine (GAE) with GitHub Pages. The reason for this change is GAE’s new policy of requiring a billing account to use their free quota service.
Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub.
# This command assumes you added SSH keys to your GitHub account
git clone git@github.com:*username*/*username*.github.io
cd *username*.github.io
# Bypass Jekyll processing on GitHub Pages
touch .nojekyll
cp -r /path/to/gae/www/* .
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
