Easiest way to create a demo in gh-pages (in keep insync with master)

I have a repo where I have the following structure

index.html
src/
dist/

I have only index and src/ inside git (dist/ is ignored) but I want to create a gh-pages that only has index and /dist.

What is the best way to keep them both in sync? Atm I have to do this manually.

Continuous integration.

Use some GitHub integration like Circle CI or Travis CI that gets notified of every push in your master branch and builds and deploys to your gh-pages branch.

You can read any of this posts to get some ideas of how to configure all this.

If you want all of this to happen in a local repository, and only push the gh-pages branch to GitHub, you can try to run some post-commit hook that builds the site on to dist/ and pushes it to GitHub.

It's a bit more awkward, since you probably don't want to push every commit you do, but it's doable. Also, this should be a bit slow, so you probably want to do the build as a background job.
