Commits per build inquiry

[ChristopherDavenport]

I have adopted sbt-microsites on linebacker , log4cats as well as many of my other libraries and my Travis CI automation consistently generates 6 commits per build.

I have checks in place that this is only firing against 1 build per merge, and it seems to me excessive to have that numbe of commits for an automated process.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

sbt docs/publishMicrosite is the command I am using, based on the documentation.

@ChristopherDavenport Likely you are using the option Publish using GitHub4s, where we are using the Github API directly with a GH token, by using https://github.com/47deg/github4s. Committing files using the GH API is not intuitive at all, it needs to be done recursively by folder, that’s potentially why you are finding a fixed number of commits, it’d be something like this:

1. Delete current files.
2. Commit files for every folder, including the root one.

It could be a little annoying, but as gh-pages is an orphan branch we considered that wasn’t a big deal. The other available option would be Publish the Microsite using ssh keys.
