+Usually, there are two repositories (at least, two branches) involved in a publishing process: the branch containing the source files, and the branch containing the build output to be served with GitHub Pages. In the following tutorial they will be referred to as **"source"** and **"target"**, respectively.
-| Name | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| `organizationName` | The GitHub user or organization that owns the repository. If you are the owner, it is your GitHub username. In the case of Docusaurus, it is "_facebook_" which is the GitHub organization that owns Docusaurus. |
-| `projectName` | The name of the GitHub repository. For example, the repository name for Docusaurus is "docusaurus", so the project name is "docusaurus". |
-| `deploymentBranch` | The name of the branch to deploy the static files to. This defaults to "gh-pages" for non-organization GitHub Pages repos. If the repo name ends in ".github.io", you have to either specify this property or set the environment variable `DEPLOYMENT_BRANCH`. |
-| `url` | URL for your GitHub Page's user/organization page. This is commonly https://_username_.github.io. |
-| `baseUrl` | Base URL for your project. For projects hosted on GitHub pages, it follows the format "/_projectName_/". For https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus, `baseUrl` is `/docusaurus/`. |
+Each GitHub repository is associated with a GitHub Pages service. If the target repository is called `my-org/my-project` (where `my-org` is the organization name or username), the deployed site will appear at `https://my-org.github.io/my-project/`. Specially, if the target repository is called `my-org/my-org.github.io` (the _organization GitHub Pages repo_), the site will appear at `https://my-org.github.io/`.

+GitHub Pages picks up deploy-ready files (the output from `docusaurus build`) from the default branch (`master` / `main`, usually) or the `gh-pages` branch, and either from the root or the `/docs` folder. You can configure that through `Settings > Pages` in your repository. This branch will be called the "target branch".
+
+We provide a `docusaurus deploy` command that helps you deploy your site from the source branch to the target branch in one command: clone, build, and commit.

+
+Our goal is that:

+2. When a pull request is merged to the `main` branch or someone pushes to the `main` branch directly and `website/` is updated, it will be built and deployed to the `gh-pages` branch. After that, the new built output will be served on the GitHub Pages site. This job will be called `deploy`.

### Triggering deployment with Travis CI {#triggering-deployment-with-travis-ci}
Continuous integration (CI) services are typically used to perform routine tasks whenever new commits are checked in to source control. These tasks can be any combination of running unit tests and integration tests, automating builds, publishing packages to NPM, and deploying changes to your website. All you need to do to automate the deployment of your website is to invoke the `yarn deploy` script whenever your website is updated. The following section covers how to do just that using [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.com/), a popular continuous integration service provider.
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new [personal access token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/). When creating the token, grant it the `repo` scope so that it has the permissions it needs.
