Add a --no-history optin to avoid growing branch weight
See original GitHub issueHi there,
First of all, thanks for you tool. It’s really useful and easy to use.
As a new feature, I would suggest to add a --no-history
option.
Deploying regularly to the branch gh-pages
make its the git history growing again and again. But this branch (or any branch used to host static content) doesn’t really need to be versioned into the history.
There is a similar tool written in nodejs which has an option --no-history
to overwrite the previous commit: gh-pages. It’s reported that it works well, as it in a GH Action.
- name: deploy to gh pages
run: |
echo "Deploying to directory: ${{env.BRANCH_NAME}}"
git config --global user.name "github-actions[bot]"
git config --global user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
npx gh-pages --dist dist/ --dest ${{env.BRANCH_NAME}} --remove "${{env.BRANCH_NAME}}/**" --no-history --repo "https://${GITHUB_ACTOR}:${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}@github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}.git"
NPM option: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gh-pages#optionshistory
