As awesome as these look, am I the only one who thinks that the word "beautiful" (along with "rich") has gotten overused in web design? It's become a buzzword, I think, to the point that perfectly good synonyms or even more descriptive phrases simply don't get used.<p>That's not to knock the substance of the post, much less the work, but perhaps it's just a bit of a pet peeve. Carry on. :)
It's really great.<p>But it's kinda frustrating that you have to go back and forth between edit/layout... I'm sure they'll improve it soon though - It's just 1.0!<p>I'm liking GitHub more every day (specially since I began using NodeJS and found the plethora of NodeJS modules on GH). I'm happy they are around.
Nice to see them offer this by default.<p>DocumentUp is something similar, which pulls the readme and automatically makes a beautiful wiki-type document for any git repo.<p><a href="http://documentup.com/" rel="nofollow">http://documentup.com/</a>
My stumbling block with ghpages is the workflow. I have not found a good way to work with the project in the master branch and then my docs/web-content in the ghpages branch. A lot of time all I really need to do is take something from my master/working branch and transmogrify it and dump the output to ghpages. Maybe its something about my git-fu? Or maybe most people's ghpages is less dependent/tied-to what is in their master branch.<p>Am I missing something obvious?
This looks very nice, but unfortunately I cannot use it because each gh-page corresponds to a specific repo, whereas my project is comprised of several repos and I want one website to document all of these repos at once.<p>Would anybody have any other suggestions for getting a simple homepage for a software project up and running reasonably quickly, without having to fiddle with CSS or JavaScript too much? Something like what GH Pages is trying to do, but maybe a little more flexible. Is something like WP the way to go?
