I looked into one of my projects again having gh-pages. Noticed that, now github provides direct publishing of master branch. index.htm should be there in master branch root folder. No more gh-pages needed.
For eg.- in repo https://github.com/PalashBansal/Collision
http://palashbansal.github.io/Collision gets updated on any change commited in master branch. gh-pages is left unused.
To set this-
Go to your repo settings, under GitHub Pages > Change Source under - Your GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the master branch. to master branch. You can even select the folder in your root folder- master branch / docs folder

You guys don't need to push the whole updates to gh-pages and even to master for updating your site. If you want to see updates on your git page, then just wait for a few minutes after "npm run deploy" on the master branch. Then, it'll be updated as you expect.

@PalashBansal, I published my page using docs folder in the master branch. I made some changes and pushed it successfully in my repository but the page is not updated. Any info on how to solve this problem?

@chimepalden You need to wait for a while(around a minute to have change reflected), if still not working, I can help better by looking into reporsitory. Please share if it's not private.
If already solved, please let us know the issue and how it got resolved.
Thanks :)

Hi there, why i've this one ?

git push origin gh-pages
To https://github.com/EvroHQ/MVMT
! [rejected] gh-pages -> gh-pages (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/EvroHQ/MVMT'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

git rebase --continue

before writing
git push origin gh-pages
