So deploying to a gh-pages
branch on Github with Octopress is relatively simple. It is spelled out here.
However, I already have a static site hosted on my gh-pages
branch (and the source stored in the master branch).
So how do I keep my static site, while deploying my blog to just either a blog.mydomain.com
or mydomain.com/blog
where I am using gh-pages
to manage both the Octopress blog and the static site for mydomain.com
.
I also checked out these instructions for moving the blog to something to like blog/index.html
...but it seems like it doesn't quite allow me to fully separate my static site from the blog. Seems like the styles may overlap and lots of other drama. I would rather keep them separate.
Is this even possible?
If not...is there a workaround to achieve what I want?
