gh-deploy

A one-liner to kick-start static pages, using GitHub Pages

This module will:

• Create a new repo, following GitHub Pages convention
• Add a stub index.html
• Clone the repo into the current folder
• Open the GitHub page in the browser, once the page is ready

As a result you will:

• Have a deployed HTML page on GitHub
• Have a cloned Git repository, ready to make further changes

Installation

npm install -g gh-deploy

Demo

Part I - Hello World (19 seconds) (a little outdated - there are no input arguments anymore - the wizard asks about them)

Part II - Deploy Todo MVC (36 seconds)

Usage

gh-deploy

The wizard asks about the following items:

• GitHub username
• GitHub password
• Page name - name of the github repository. This defines the page URL

Page URL

GitHub offers two options for page URLs:

• http://*username*.github.io - use username.github.io as the reponame
• http://*username*.github.io/*reponame* - use any other reponame
