I understand users' need for this, but as a this is your code, why don't you also push it to the gh-pages branch? That would make the exact same thing available

I understand users' need for this, but as a this is your code, why don't you also push it to the gh-pages branch? That would make the exact same thing available at http://reidrac.github.com/canvas-raycasting http://reidrac.github.com/canvas-raycasting (and then add a link to your README)
- remysharp 14y agoI used to try to do that with my projects, but I found keeping the gh-pages branch in sync with my master just enough of a pain that it quickly got neglected. I'm not saying you shouldn't, and personally, I'd rather there be a hosted example of the repo - I just made 5minfork for those ones that (I often found) didn't have the live example.
- benpickles 14y agoI never bother with an orphan branch, just create a gh-pages branch from master and fast-forward it when you want to "deploy".
- reidrac 14y agoI actually hosted a demo for that repo in a different server. I'm not saying it's useful to host your own demo (although it could be a temporarily demo deployed on demand). I think 5minfork is cool if you want to try a project and the repo owner didn't put a demo website, that's the problem the author wants to solve and I think it's a great idea specially if you can't get the code and try it locally (mobile browsing?).
