Not sure how to use add-and-commit to push changes from master to gh-pages about add-and-commit HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to know.

I think the easiest thing for you to do is, ironically, not to use the action at all: there's an NPM package called gh-pages that can do exactly that.
You can set up a couple of npm scripts and a GH workflow to handle that, here's an example from one of my repos, where I'm deploying the build of a React app to the gh-pages branch:

• Workflow
• package.json

The point is that if you wanted to do this with git commands, you would need to use git subtree push instead of git push, and my action does not support that. (this gist explains it better)
I want this action to be general-purpose, and not to become too complex. I also believe that there are some actions that can deploy to gh-pages, but I can't tell you which one is better since I'm not using any of them.
