+
+Recently I tried to deploy a new [Cobalt][]-powered site from [Travis CI][travis], using the [then documented method][olddeploy].
+It failed at random and all tries to debug it failed.
+
+[cobalt]: https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs
+[travis]: https://travis-ci.org/
+[olddeploy]: https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs/blob/4350f2b012480a4b198f6ef0dabb0ddb47c42abb/README.md#with-travis-ci
+
+
+That's when I came across Travis' [GitHub Pages Deployment integration](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages/).
+
+Add the following snippet to your `.travis.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  provider: pages
+  skip_cleanup: true
+  github_token: $GH_TOKEN
+  local_dir: build
+  on:
+    branch: master
+```
+
+Now create a new [Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) on GitHub and make sure to include the `public_repo` scope (or the `repo` scope if you're deploying from a private repository).
+Copy the provided token and execute the following code in a shell:
+
+```shell
+travis encrypt GH_TOKEN=thetokenyougot --add env.global
+```
+
+(make sure to replace `thetokenyougot` with the actual token)
+
+Now whenever you push to the `master` branch, Travis will run your build first, then grab all files from the `build` folder, put that into a new commit in the `gh-pages` branch and force-push to GitHub again.
+For more settings check the linked documentation (e.g. how to change the folder or branch to be deployed).
+
+Meanwhile, [this became the documented method for Cobalt deployment](https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs/pull/333).
