I recently added a Github Pages project page to a Github repo for documentation purposes. This has been great so far.
The problem is, the gh-pages branch I created now has a number of images on it which get downloaded when the repo is cloned. This makes for a much larger download (~80 times larger than the master branch alone!) as cloning includes the gh-pages branch and images which are irrelevant to the average user. This repo is for the raspberry Pi too, so the average user is likely to have greater than usual space considerations.
Is there a way to make the default cloning process ignore the gh-pages branch? Or, at the least, to make the default cloning process skip these images? This seems like an obvious problem with project-specific Github Pages but I haven't found a solution that wouldn't break the link between the repo and the gh-pages page; am I missing something?
