This addresses some long-standing comments in https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/1458#issuecomment-368270996 We should also adopt Gatsby, create-react-app, or something similar designed for static sites, to eliminate the unnecessary runtime dependency on Next.js while also letting someone else maintain our front-end tooling. :-D These alternative tools might work just fine in subdirectories without config, and we might be able to leave Jekyll turned on (though we don’t need it). However these git-related changes are orthogonal. - Don’t check out master, making it possible to deploy the currently checked-out commit - Disable Jekyll which we don’t need. This allows _next folders to be deployed, and the related URL rewriting to be removed. - Completely empty the deploy branch’s index before deployment. This prevents errors from broken symlinks, while preserving the commit history in the deploy branch. - Do the deployment work in a git working tree. This requires Git 2.18 but makes it possible to do the above very safely.
