# Author: Pieter Noordhuis
# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby

How to: GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch for User & Organization Pages

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".
