Created by: steventan

Action taken: Update to Documentation. Removed the the step for switching to 'gh-pages' branch as it is no longer a viable option.

Reason: As per stated on GitHub, Pages for User and Organisation could only be published from 'master' branch. The option to switch to another branch is no longer a viable option.

Extract from GitHub: "If your site is a User or Organization Page that has a repository named .github.io or .github.io , you cannot publish your site's source files from different locations. User and Organization Pages that have this type of repository name are only published from the master branch."

GitHub reference: https://help.github.com/articles/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-github-pages/

Note: In the case of a user's page, users only need to do the second step, instead of two.

"Additionally, tweak your package.json scripts to push deployments to master" solely would suffice as per tested on my own Github User Page. (StevenTan.GitHub.io)

Thanks, Steven
