If you use gh-pages [1], then it's as simple as `gh-pages -d public`.

I can highly recommend Github pages, which I use for https://blog.jeaye.com/

The HN hug of death has never brought it down, since Github handles all of the scaling.

I actually recommend Gitlab pages. I prefer their allowance of private repos. I made a guide [1] on how to switch from Github to Gitlab pages. I use Gitlab for my static sites and Github for my source.
