< p > A popular way to host websites for Open Source projects is the GitHub pages.
It's a free service provided by < a href = "http://github.com/" class = "ext" > GitHub< / a > which allows
to host completely static websites through GitHub.< / p >
< p > The way this is implemented in Lektor currently is that Lektor will force-push
a website into a repository of choice. There are two ways to push it up:
< code > ghpages< / code > (which uses SSH) or < code > ghpages+https< / code > (which uses HTTPS). The latter
can also accept < code > username:password@< / code > in the URL to hold the credentials in
addition to accepting username and password from the command line or
environment variables.< / p >
< p > Example:< / p >

< / pre > < / div >
< h2 id = "credentials" > Credentials< / h2 > < p > This deployment method has two implementations: < code > ghpages< / code > (also known as
< code > ghpages+ssh< / code > ) which uses SSH and < code > ghpages+https< / code > which uses HTTPS. They
use different methods for credentials. For the SSH transport the same
rules apply as for the < a href = "../rsync/" class = "ref" > rsync deployment method< / a > . The HTTPS
transport on the other hand accepts < code > --username< / code > and < code > --password< / code > which
override the values in the URL.< / p >
< div class = "admonition admonition-note" > < p > If you have 2-factor authentication set up and you're using HTTPS, instead of your normal password, you will need to use a < a href = "https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/" class = "ext" > personal access token< / a > .< / p > < / div > < h2 id = "behavior" > Behavior< / h2 > < p > The way this deployment support works is that it commits a new commit into a
temporary location and pushes it into the < code > gh-pages< / code > or < code > master< / code > branch
depending on the name of the repository. If you push to < code > username.github.io< / code >
then it commits to < code > master< / code > , otherwise to < code > gh-pages< / code > . This is consistent
with behavior for GitHub Pages.< / p >
< h2 id = "cname-support" > CNAME Support< / h2 > < p > If you want to use a custom domain with GitHub pages (also known as a
< a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME" class = "ext" > CNAME< / a > ), provide the intended
CNAME in the target URL using the < code > ?cname< / code > parameter:< / p >

< div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > < span class = "k" > [servers.production]< / span > < span class = "w" > < / span >

< span class = "na" > target< / span > < span class = "w" > < / span > < span class = "o" > =< / span > < span class = "w" > < / span > < span class = "s" > ghpages://your-user/your-repository?cname=www.example.com< / span > < span class = "w" > < / span >
< / pre > < / div >
< p > Note that this will overwrite whatever custom domain you may have set on
GitHub with every deployment.< / p >
< p > For more information about how CNAMEs work with GitHub you can read about
the feature in the GitHub help center:
< a href = "https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-cname-file-to-your-repository/" class = "ext" > Adding a CNAME file to your repository< / a > .< / p >
< h2 id = "404-pages" > 404 Pages< / h2 > < p > Per convention the file named < code > 404.html< / code > is used as placeholder if a page
cannot be found. You can create such a page by creating a < code > 404.html/contents.lr< / code >
file.< / p >
< h2 id = "automatic-deployments" > Automatic Deployments< / h2 > < p > If you want to use ghpages it's desirable to have this build automatically.
This is easy to accomplish with the help of Travis-CI. For more information
