you should have the following remotes defined:
$ git remote -v
draft [email protected]:ledcoyote/ledcoyote.github.io-draft.git (fetch)
draft [email protected]:ledcoyote/ledcoyote.github.io-draft.git (push)
origin [email protected]:ledcoyote/ledcoyote.github.io.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:ledcoyote/ledcoyote.github.io.git (push)the convention shall be to maintain a drafts branch which is solely pushed to
the draft remote, which is private, and a main branch pushed to the origin
remote, which is public (main can also be pushed to draft, who cares).
write and commit files in _drafts to the drafts branch, and push these to
the draft remote.
when ready to publish,
git checkout drafts
mv _drafts/name-of-post.md _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.md
git add _drafts/name-of-post.md _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.md
git commit -m 'publish name-of-post'
git checkout main
git checkout drafts _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.md
git commit -m 'publish name-of-post'
git push origin main
git checkout drafts
git merge main
