Copy files to a different branch of the same repository

Based on the documentation it seems this would be possible.

This doesn't seem to work though. Any suggestions? Each push I'd like to copy the README_files from the master to the gh-pages branch.

Ah, solved through the gh-pages action.

Same here, it gives fatal: destination path '<repo-name>' already exists and is not an empty directory. error every time. I assume it is because the name collides with the source repo folder which is already cloned.
