I think split source file and generated file into two branch will be much better:
1.source file branch will be the only truth of website, all commit and merge operation will impact website content. new contributor doesn't need care about other js files and html files. 2.source file branch's size will reduce, people (or Jenkins CI) can clone it quickly 3.Each time people run docsite build, it will generate many html and js[1] etc. Keep them at one branch may cause more push conflict and PR conflict. 4.unnecessary file is sync to static file server, refer to [2]. There is no security issue but just not necessary And for current deployment process, we only commit website to github and apache server will sync it. so in order to build website in jenkins, we need at least one token or ssh key to push files. does it possible to push file directly to apache server? or any one know the ticket link for this website setup work?
