I build documentation using Doxygen and then use Travis deploy to push it to my gh-pages branch.

> <https://github.com/acgetchell/CDT-plusplus/blob/develop/.travis.yml#L116>

Doxygen generates files with leading underscores. Jekyll processing on gh-pages will ignore these files, unless it is turned off by the presence of a `.nojekyll` file, which I create here:

> <https://github.com/acgetchell/CDT-plusplus/blob/develop/.travis.yml#L133>

The file seems to be committed and pushed with all of the others by deploy, but it does not actually show up in `gh-pages`.

The commit removes the empty file instead:

> <https://github.com/acgetchell/CDT-plusplus/commit/ca4c508739ca6ba49ebb7aa6c7eb38518fc5fd3b>

How do I get deploy to push an empty file? Or, do I need to add a character in it?

It looks like you are creating `.nojekyll` in the current directory (which is `/home/travis/build/acgetchell/CDT-plusplus`) rather than in the actual directory that you are syncing to `gh-pages` (`/home/travis/build/acgetchell/CDT-plusplus/docs/html/`).

Yes, that was it.

Thank you!
