We’re making it easier to publish a website with GitHub Pages. Now you can select a source in your repository settings and GitHub Pages will look for your content there.

  1. Selecting master branch will publish your site from the master branch. This is useful for repositories dedicated to website content.
  2. Selecting master branch /docs folder will publish from the /docs folder of your master branch. This lets you maintain documentation and code together on one branch, and open source maintainers can accept contributions for both in a single pull request.

Rest assured that existing project pages which use a gh-pages branch will keep working just like before, as will user and organization pages published from the master branch.
