[suggestion] commit only into a directory of the target repo, leaving the rest unmodified about ghaction-github-pages

@sarahBuisson What's the point? Do you have a concrete use case?

[sarahBuisson]

I use gh-pages to publish the evolution of quality metrics of my project : I need the previous metrics along the new-ones.

You can already do this using the keep_history input.

[sarahBuisson]

no, if you want to display it, you need it side by side. the published website of github page don't use the history

[crazy-max]

the published website of github page don't use the history

@sarahBuisson Not if you use the keep_history input as I said. This way the git history of the target_branch will be kept.

To summarize if your current git branch deployed on GitHub Pages contains:

myfolder20200415/mypage.html
index.html

And you want to deploy a new file named myfolder20200416/mypage.html, the result on the target_branch will be:

myfolder20200415/mypage.html
myfolder20200416/mypage.html
index.html

I will try it. Thanks!
