Is it possible to publish a manuscript project to gh-pages?

Description

When I try to publish to Github, it complaints it is not a book nor website project.

❯ quarto publish gh-pages
ERROR: The specified path (/Users/fredguth/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/Projects/sus/1_Projects/Produto-1) is not a website or book project so cannot be published.

Our error message is wrong here as Manuscripts are supported. (we'll improve it).

Manuscripts are checked specifically in our code

quarto-cli/src/command/publish/cmd.ts

Lines 323 to 325 in 1dfc6db

	} else if (
	projectIsManuscript(project) && project.files.input.length > 0
	) {

I also tested it with a new manuscript project quarto create project and it works ok. Demo repo I just published https://github.com/cderv/test-manuscript

so what is your _quarto.yml content ? From where are you calling quarto publish command ?

I am not sure what happened, now it works. It is possible that I was trying to publish from the gh-pages branch. But it is indeed working.
