Docs vs _site for storing the generated Website.

[wildintellect]

I ran into an issue, when I generate a local preview of the site it now uses the docs folder, and since this folder is not ignored (.gitignore) my local copy wants to be committed to git.

What we had previously was that _site was generated, but on github this was only ever in a gh-pages branch. So the actual website files would never end up in the main and accidentally be direct edited, pushed, or pull.

I'm not sure what the typical layout is for quarto sites on github (the template we use is _stite only in gh-pages).

I agree; I mentioned in #55 (comment) that I was confused that docs was committed to git.

My preference would be to revert to only storing the built form of the docs on the gh-pages branch

@kylebarron @wildintellect I think I've figured this out and gone back to how you'd had it configured before. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Previews appear to work and deploying to the gh-pages branch seems to work properly now.

Do we plan to remove the docs from the main branch then?

[jedsundwall]

Yes, #55 will remove docs from the main branch when merged.

Closing this as fixed in #61, which moved the built website back to _site
