Problem with wagon-gitsite

[khmarbaise]

Hi,
i'm trying your wagon-gitsite plugin in Maven...but at the moment i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or whatever...I've configured the plugin as described on the page, but get the following results:

kama@office:~/ws-git/maui$ git branch -a

The code of that project is available under https://github.com/khmarbaise/maui ...
I've tried with Maven 2.2.1 and Maven 3.0.3 ?

I'm a little bit confused, cause on that repository i can do changes and push the changes back to github without any problem...
May be you have an idea and can enlighten me a bit ...;-)

Kind regards

There are two things that tend to cause people trouble with this plugin and I hope to fix both of them in the future. 1) You have to set your username to "git" in your settings.xml for the profile you use, and 2) you have to have manually created the gh-pages branch on github's site already using the instructions at http://pages.github.com. There's no reason the plugin couldn't create the branch, but I haven't done it yet. I'm not sure about forcing the username.

Could one of those be the issue? See how I have it configured in https://github.com/khuxtable/tracking-robot, for probably the simplest case. (I'm only pushing documentation in Maven. The build is done via Eclipse's Arduino plugin.)

[khuxtable]

I should add that I'm still using Maven 2.2.1, but I think this should work in 3.0.3.

Hi Kathryn,
the hint with the user to be set to git in the settings.xml did the trick. I assumed i have to use my own user...which was wrong....
Cool...Great Thanks for your help...and it works with Maven 3.0.3 ...without a problem...but with a little issue that supplemental sub folder will be created...which i currently don't understand where this is defined...

I had the gh-pages branch before and simple created my site by doing the following:

mvn clean site
git checkout gh-pages
cp -r target/site/** .
git add .
git commit -a -v 
git push

May be i have to go a different way...

[khuxtable]

No, that should have worked, I think. I'll investigate.

[khmarbaise]

So i have create a separate git repository from scratch to exclude some problems with my original repository or my git repository or my setup......but i get the same behavior in that repository (https://github.com/khmarbaise/wagon-site)...
Thanks for that cool plugin...
Kind regards
Karl Heinz

Having the same problem in my own repo. gh-pages branch exists. But ssh://github.com/a/b.git cannot be used to pull origin refs/heads/gh-pages:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

(Reproducible outside Maven.) Changing the URL to [email protected]:a/b.git makes it work, but how to get the gitsite plugin to do this to begin with?

(I did have

<server>
  <id>github-project-site</id>
  <username>git</username>
</server>

in my ~/.m2/settings.xml as seems to be recommended.)

Necropost: I've experienced the same issue (jenkinsci/winp#16).

To resolve it, I've added github-pages id to settings.xml. The deployment was successfull after the clean build.

    <server>
      <id>github-pages</id>
      <username>git</username>
    </server>
