Is there a way to sync publii blog to a sub-directory in a Github repo?

Say the git repo already has another website in the root folder, which I don’t want to override. I create a blog/ directory and set publii to sync with this “blog/” sub-directory only. is it possible?

Hi,

I think that the only solution can be using something like submodules in GIT: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9035895/how-do-i-add-a-submodule-to-a-sub-directory and put the blog into separate github repository which will be used as a submodule in your main repository.

I did not test such solution – it is just an idea to check 🙂

Thanks so much Tomasz! I am gonna test it today and report how it goes to help others! thanks for the suggestion!

Confirmed that submodule works.

After publishing the site to the submodule repo, I just need to run

github update submodule

from the main repo to update the blog.

correction, the command should be

git submodule update --remote

@onion I followed the information on this page: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

Steps:

• Main site repo, let’s call it main repo
• Publish blog to its own Repo,name it “blog”
• Add repo “blog” as sub-module to the main repo

Thank you @wentin I tried but couldn’t get it live and running. Actually, I am familiar with Cloudflare but not with Git and its operations.

I will try to work over the week and update my workings here.
