-#To deploy the doxygen documentation a copy of the repository is created inside the deployed folder.

-#*NOTE:* This has already been done once and does not have to be repeated!
-#On working branch:
-#- Add deploy directory to `.gitignore` (if not already done)
-#- Create the `gh-pages` branch: `git checkout --orphan gh-pages`
-#- Clean the branch: `git rm -rf .`
