Middleman Delpoy -- Deploy a middleman built site over rsync or to github pages.

===

QUICK START

If deploying through rsync, be sure it is installed.

Step 1

gem install middleman-deploy

Step 2

middleman init example-site
cd example-site

Step 3

Edit Gemfile, and add:

gem "middleman-deploy"

Then run:

bundle install

Step 4a - Rsync setup

These settings are required.

Edit config.rb, and add:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :rsync
  deploy.user   = "tvaughan"
  deploy.host   = "www.example.com"
  deploy.path   = "/srv/www/site"
end

Adjust these values accordingly.

These settings are optional.

To use a particular SSH port, add:

  deploy.port = 5309

Default is 22.

To remove orphaned files or directories on the remote host, add:

  deploy.clean = true

Default is false.

Step 4b - Github Pages setup

Edit config.rb, and add:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :git
end

The git deploy method assumes your project is in a repository with github set up as origin and a working gh-pages branch already in place.

Step 5

middleman build
middleman deploy

NOTES

Inspired by the rsync task in Octopress.
