Github Pages for users and organizations uses the master branch like the public directory on a web server, serving up the files at your Pages url `http://username.github.com`. As a result, you'll want to work on the source for your blog in the source branch and commit *the generated content* to the master branch. Octopress has a configuration task that helps you set all this up.
