xsbt-ghpages-plugin

The github pages plugin for SBT provides support for auto-generating a project website and pushing to github pages. Out of the box is will publish your scaladoc APIs to github pages.

Creating ghpages branch

To use this pluign, you must first create a ghpages branch on github. To do so:

    $ cd /path/to/tmpdirectory
    $ git clone {your project}
    $ cd {your project}
    $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/gh-pages
    $ rm .git/index
    $ git clean -fdx
    $ echo "My GitHub Page" > index.html
    $ git add .
    $ git commit -a -m "First pages commit"
    $ git push origin gh-pages

Once this is done, you can begin using the plugin.

Adding to your project

Create a project/plugins/project/Build.scala file that looks like the following:

import sbt._
object PluginDef extends Build {
  override def projects = Seq(root)
  lazy val root = Project("plugins", file(".")) dependsOn(ghpages)
  lazy val ghpages = uri("git://github.com/jsuereth/xsbt-ghpages-plugin.git")
}

Then in your build.sbt file, simply add:

seq(ghpages.settings:_*)

ghpages.gitRemoteRepo := "git@github.com:{your username}/{your project}.git"

Creating a Home page

The ghpages plugin will copy anything in the target/site directory into the ghpages repository root directory. To ensure that your site is built before things get copied, a dummy task called "gen-site" (or genSite) is provided. The ghpages plugin does not care what other plugins or tasks generate a site, only that you add an appropriate dependency on that task so that it occurs before the site is copied to github.

For example, if you were using the sbt-lwm-plugin to generate HTML from markdown, you could use the following config line:

ghpages.genSite <<= (ghpages.genSite, LWM.translate in LWM.Config) map ((_,_) => ())

It is important to have the genSite setting depend on the previous so you can continue to add code generation tasks to the dependencies.
