I have all my posts in /source/_posts of Octopress, how do I deploy them to Github pages?

For some reason, my gh-pages remote is tracking the _deploy directory within octopress/.

So when I do a push within that folder, it pushes an empty blog install.

I have a ton of posts in source/_posts, but I want to deploy them to my gh-pages branch.

I tried rake deploy and that doesn't seem to do the trick. It still pushes an empty blog.

How do I get the posts from source/_posts to _deploy?

I am afraid to do it manually, for fear I may break something.

You need to build the page first (thus populating your _deploy directory) via rake generate and then push those contents to the gh-pages branch via rake deploy.
