Hexo: Set up & deploy hexo into subdirectory on GitHub pages (User & Organization Pages)

[geekiam]

Hello.

I want to create project structure like this:

├── stylesheet/
├── javascript/
├── blog/ ----------> username.github.io/blog/ (hexo w/ it sources and generated pages)
├── index.html -----> username.github.io/index.html

so what are the ways to do this?

Create blog repo with Hexo and put generated pages to blog:gh-pages branch.
GitHub will serve them publically at username.github.io/blog/.

In your main site, you can use ONE of these deployment methods:

• link/redirect to username.github.io/blog/ (blog:gh-pages branch)
  This is automatically done if your main site is username.github.io, you don't even have to create the blog/ folder/route in the main site.
• put the generated pages directly under blog/ of the main site (for other kind of static deployments)
