GitHub forked project: right way to have own gh-pages

Question

When a github project is forked the gh-pages related to initial project. Can i have a modifications in gh-pages and do not synchronize it with parent project? the same question is for trivial README in master-branch of fork.

Answer 1

You could keep your modifications separate per branches:

• one branch for modification you might want to push back with a pull request
• one branch for private modifications (ad you would merge the first branch on the second regularly, to keep all combined evolutions in one - private - branch)
