This is a template project to integrate GitHub Pages with Maven Site

Usage

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a new home for the cloned repository in GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise and push it upstream
3. Change the highlighted pom.xml sections to point to your new repository location (2 sections)
4. Generate a personal access token with user and repo permissions
5. Fill in the server section in your ~/.m2/settings with GitHub username and token:

<server>
   <id>github</id>
    <username>YOUR_USERNAME</username>
    <password>YOUR_TOKEN generate in step 4</password>
</server>

Run mvn site and see the content being uploaded to your project's gh-pages branch. Expected sample output:

Usage in a CI Server

If you're trying to automate the site generation and deployment in CI make sure access to the build agents' .m2/settings.xml is well protected. For additional security you might want to look at Maven's password encryption.

Help needed

If you have any issues check Maven Site's GitHub Plugin docs.
