+ [2013-09-15T07:01:46Z] jolleyjo_ just trying to understand this all... when i use octopress, i have to rake deploy to push code to the master branch so that I can see my github page... if i don't use octopress, should I be able to see my content without deploying? i.e. jekyll software running on github pages already?
+ [2013-09-15T09:36:01Z] vasilakisFiL jolleyjo_ I think gihub supports only static pages
+ [2013-09-15T09:38:11Z] vasilakisFiL so I think even with jekyll only (that is, a custom jekyll site) you will have to build it every time you want to make a change

+ [2013-09-16T03:42:39Z] jolleyjo_ Github will actually serve Jekyll pages without a rake deploy, any ideas how to get an Octopress deployment to work without having to do rake deploy?
+ [2013-09-16T08:12:06Z] pontiki jolleyjo_: the main difference between bare jekyll and octopress is the octopress makes heavier use of plugins, which do not work on github pages.
+ [2013-09-16T08:12:57Z] pontiki so you won't be able to use gh pages without a rake deploy in octopress
+ [2013-09-16T08:13:39Z] pontiki jolleyjo_: if you just want to run jekyll, no octopress stuff, it should be just fine
+ [2013-09-16T08:14:47Z] pontiki jolleyjo_: with plain ol' jekyll, github will run jekyll on your master (or gh-pages) branch, so all you have to do is push it
