Automatically build and deploy to Github Pages

#1

Hi Guys,
I have built an app which can Automatically build and deploy Middleman websites on Github Pages. It does a deploy on every push to Github. I would love to get some feedback from the community about how this can be improved and help us with our publishing.

You can sign up for it at: https://zammu.in/middleman?invitation_code=MIDDLEMAN

Your feedback is really appreciated.

I haven’t used it yet, but this is a great idea, and I will check it out soon. My first thought is, why not register/login with Github, rather than have a separate username and password? Since every user of Zammu would have to be a Github user, this would be useful.

Another question: Can you limit the auto-deploy to a single branch? That is, pushing to a “draft” (for example) branch wouldn’t trigger a build, while pushing to “master” would.

Thanks for the feedback, Really appreciate it :smile:

I have plans to add other services to work as the input source (e.g. Dropbox, bitbucket) that’s why the multiple login. However, you should just be able to login via Github. I’ll see if I can make that more prominent in he UI.

Great point about limiting the auto deploy, currently only the pushes to the ‘master’ branch are deployed. It is not configurable though (you can’t change it to use a different ‘deploy’ branch). I should make even this more prominent in the UI.

Thanks a lot, this really helps me moving forward, Please don’t hesitate to send any kind of feedback, there is a feedback textarea on the site too. I would love to hear your thoughts on anything and everything :smile:
