| 1 | # GitHub Pages |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Since the bhvr client is a simple static site you can deploy it just about anywhere, including GitHub Pages. Just follow these steps: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ::::steps |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ### Enable GitHub Pages action |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Go to your repo settings and click on the `Pages` tab on the left side, then select `GitHub Actions` as the `Source` |
| 10 | |
| 11 |  |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ### Add the GitHub Action File |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Create a new directory in the root of your project called `.github` and put another folder inside of it called `workflows`. Finally create a file inside of that folder called `deploy-pages.yaml` with the following contents. Pay special attention to the `Build Client` step as that is where you need to replace `your-repo-name` with the actual name of your repo, as well as any environment variables you want included in the build. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ```yaml [.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yaml] |
| 18 | name: Deploy to GitHub Pages |
| 19 | |
| 20 | on: |
| 21 | # Trigger on pushes to main branch |
| 22 | push: |
| 23 | branches: [ main ] |
| 24 | |
| 25 | # Allow manual triggering from Actions tab |
| 26 | workflow_dispatch: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | # Set permissions for GitHub Pages deployment |
| 29 | permissions: |
| 30 | contents: read |
| 31 | pages: write |
| 32 | id-token: write |
| 33 | |
| 34 | # Allow only one concurrent deployment |
| 35 | concurrency: |
| 36 | group: "pages" |
| 37 | cancel-in-progress: false |
| 38 | |
| 39 | jobs: |
| 40 | build: |
| 41 | runs-on: ubuntu-latest |
| 42 | |
| 43 | steps: |
| 44 | - name: Checkout code |
| 45 | uses: actions/checkout@v4 |
| 46 | |
| 47 | - name: Setup Bun |
| 48 | uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1 |

| 53 | run: bun install |

| 69 | uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3 |
| 70 | with: |
| 71 | path: './client/dist' |
| 72 | |
| 73 | deploy: |
| 74 | environment: |
| 75 | name: github-pages |
| 76 | url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }} |
| 77 | runs-on: ubuntu-latest |
| 78 | needs: build |
| 79 | |
| 80 | steps: |
| 81 | - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages |
| 82 | id: deployment |
| 83 | uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4 |
| 84 | ``` |
| 85 | |
| 86 | ### Update the `vite.config.ts` in the `client` package |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Update the `vite.config.ts` file located in the `client/src` directory to include the `base` property |
| 89 | |
| 90 | ```typescript [vite.config.ts] |
| 91 | import { defineConfig } from "vite"; |
| 92 | import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"; |
| 93 | import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite"; |
| 94 | import path from "path"; |
| 95 | |
| 96 | export default defineConfig({ |
| 97 | plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()], |
| 98 | base: process.env.VITE_BASE_URL || "/", // [!code hl] |
| 99 | resolve: { |
| 100 | alias: { |
| 101 | "@client": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"), |
| 102 | "@server": path.resolve(__dirname, "../server/src"), |
| 103 | "@shared": path.resolve(__dirname, "../shared/src"), |
| 104 | "@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"), |
| 105 | }, |
| 106 | }, |
| 107 | }); |
| 108 | ``` |
| 109 | |
| 110 | ### Push to Deploy! |
| 111 | |
| 112 | After setting these up you have deployments anytime you push to your main branch! |
