• extend_dirs: Add some extensions directory to publish. e.g demo, examples
• ignore_hidden (Boolean|Object): whether ignore hidden files to publish. the github requires the .nojekyll in root.
  • Boolean: for all dirs.
  • Object: for public dir and extend dir:
    • public: the public dir defaults.
    • [extend directory]

How it works

hexo-deployer-git works by generating the site in .deploy_git and force pushing to the repo(es) in config. If .deploy_git does not exist, a repo will initialized (git init). Otherwise the curent repo (with its commit history) will be used.

Users can clone the deployed repo to .deploy_git to keep the commit history.

git clone <gh-pages repo> .deploy_git

Reset

Remove .deploy_git folder.

$ rm -rf .deploy_git
