Persist artifacts in CircleCI

This website could have used master branch/docs folder as a website:

• I build locally my Jekyll website
• If the output folder is not already set to /docs/, copy content from /_site to /docs/
• commit and push master branch

But for the sake of learning, let’s do split the Circle CI workflow in two jobs:

• build
• deploy

I need to keep the artifacts produced by the build job to have it deployed by the deploy job. To do so, CircleCI offers persist_to_workspace and attach_workspace.
