I am using Travis-CI to test code in a repository. There are quite some files after the testing and I would like to have them at a persistent place. How can I do that under the context of Travis-CI?
As an artificial example, suppose my Travis-CI server runs a C program that stores a large number of integers in a specific file. The file can be found at the Travis-CI server after the build. But how can I get that file? In my use case, this file is large and it would not make sense to read it from the console of Travis-CI; in other words, I would not consider using "cat ..." in .travis.yml.
After some search, here is what I got:
The most convenient way seems to deploy the generated files to GitHub pages. The process is explained here: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages/. In short:
first, create a GitHub page from the repository under test. This can be done through the Github web of the repository. The outcome includes an additional remote branch called gh-=pages generated.
then, in .travis.yml, use the deploy section to specify the condition to do the deployment.
