Publish the Site
{.docImage}
Next, we'll learn how to publish the site to the WWW for everyone to browse! For the purpose of the tutorial, we'll use GitHub Pages to host our website. But you can use any static file hosting service that you want, like Netlify, Amazon S3, etc.
Put the Site Online
Edit the file
docusaurus-tutorial/website/siteConfig.jsand fill in the following values:const siteConfig = { ... url: 'https://USERNAME.github.io', // Replace USERNAME with your GitHub username. baseUrl: '/docusaurus-tutorial/', // The name of your GitHub project. projectName: 'docusaurus-tutorial', // The name of your GitHub project. Same as above. organizationName: 'USERNAME' // Your GitHub username. ... }
- In Terminal or Git Bash, kill the web server by pressing Cmd+C or Ctrl+C.
- No diretório
website, executenpm run buildouyarn build. The command generates abuilddirectory inside thewebsitedirectory, containing HTML files (and other file types) for all of your docs and other pages. Make sure thedocusaurus-tutorial/website/builddirectory is successfully created before running the next step. - Replace
USERNAMEwith your GitHub username and run the following command.
GIT_USER=USERNAME CURRENT_BRANCH=master USE_SSH=true npm run publish-gh-pages # SSH
# or
GIT_USER=USERNAME CURRENT_BRANCH=master npm run publish-gh-pages # HTTPS
The HTML files (and other file types) are pushed to the gh-pages branch of your repository: https://github.com/USERNAME/docusaurus-tutorial.
- Go to https://USERNAME.github.io/docusaurus-tutorial/ and view your site in action!
Note that when you run
npm run startagain, thebaseUrlwill now be part of the path.
