accept git remote as an option for github pages deploy

[craigmichaelmartin]

Feature request: accepting a git remote name as an option for github pages deploy. If acceptable, I would be happy to implement.

Use cases

• Devs who use a different upstream remote name than origin.
• Devs who wish to deploy to their fork as part of a review step.

Workarounds

• git remote rename

Alternatives

• If not acceptable, I'd be happy to submit a PR to add a note to the README and/or the output message when there is no remote found for origin.

I'm happy to review a PR for this enhancement, but would like to mention that we're likely reworking the github deploy functionality to use the docs folder as mentioned in https://github.com/blog/2228-simpler-github-pages-publishing.
