Github pages: Jekyll changes not showing in _site

I just set up my Jekyll site on Github pages, and the whole site works fine when going to the Pages url, new posts appear correctly etc. However my _site folder isn't showing any changes when viewing the repository via Github.

Does Github pages generate the site into _site on the same repository and then serve _site at the url? The idea is that I would use Github pages for a kind of staging server, so I do my new posts in Prose.io, then make sure all is working by checking the Github pages url, then pull down the _site folder contents into my own server. I have it all set up and running correctly, its just when i pull down there arent any new changes in the _site folder despite those changing being shown on the Pages url.

Github generates your site for your, so it's useless to push your _site folder.

Now you can still :

  1. Edit with prose on your github page
  2. test the result
  3. pull your changes from github to your local
  4. make a jekyll build locally
  5. push to your own server
