Intro

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout.

IMPORTANT

If you plan on switching between different branches (e.g. git checkout master-experiment then revert back with git checkout master) you will loose your child folder from this tutorial (because it's in your .gitignore and is not part of your master branch).

Global .gitignore

We don't want to polute the repository with a .gitignore file... so you must add common OS files to your Global .gitignore. If you don't already have a global .gitignore then follow the instructions below (from: http://help.github.com/ignore-files/) or skip to the next section.

cd ~   
touch .gitignore_global   
mate .gitignore_global

GitHub Pages "Normal" Setup for User & Organization Pages

Let’s say your GitHub username is “alice”. If you create a GitHub repository named alice.github.com, commit a file named index.html into the master branch, and push it to GitHub, then this file will be automatically published to http://alice.github.com/... The same works for organizations.

Read more here: http://pages.github.com/

However... the downside of this is that anyone that forks this repo won't get it as a GitHub Pages repo when they are working on it... because they have a different GitHub "username" (or "organisation name").

So the trick is to not use a master branch as the documentation tells you... rather, use a gh-pages branch, as you would for your other "Project Pages".
