Hi I am using jekyll hosted on github oages and I would like to separate the content and code of my site into separate branches so:
- It is more organised.
- If I want to change some code in the site experimentally I can create A new branch based of the code branch and I don't have to worry about updating its contents when I create new blogs in my main code branch. I have done some research someone mentioned using gem files to store the code but creating a jekyll theme and distributing it with ruby gem seems a daunting task since I don't even know the gem programming language.
Any thoughts? And thanks in advance.

What you want is a CI solution.
Github Action should be a good choice to you since you are using Github Pages.
To simplify the process, you could leverage jekyll-deploy-action. It also makes the plugins those are not on the Github Safe List works on Github Pages.
To achieve this, just follow the usage doc.

Should have said this earlier but I found a solution to the problem you can actually set a them variable in you _config.yml so it pilots to a GitHub repo
