If you are using non-whitelisted plugins for your Jekyll site then you probably can't host on Github Pages. Jekyll GhDeploy is meant to take away the pain of building and pushing your Jekyll site to Github while keeping it version controlled.
Add these lines to your site's Gemfile:
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem "jekyll-ghdeploy"
endAnd then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install jekyll-ghdeploy
Specify your repository inside of your configuration file with username being
your Github username and repository being your repository's name.
repository: username/repository
Execute the command by typing bundle exec jekyll ghdeploy
$ bundle exec jekyll ghdeploy
You can alternatively specify your repository while executing the command.
$ bundle exec jekyll ghdeploy username/repository
| Option | Description |
