Deployment Instructions

Deploying to GitHub Pages via CLI

1. Install Git

   Ensure that Git is installed on your system. You can download it from git-scm.com.

2. Initialize a Local Repository

   Open your terminal and navigate to your project directory:

   cd /path/to/your/project

   Initialize a new Git repository:

   git init

3. Commit Your Code

   Add your files to the repository and commit them:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial commit"

4. Create a GitHub Repository

   Log in to your GitHub account and create a new repository. Do not initialize it with a README or any other files.

5. Add Remote Origin

   In the terminal, add the remote repository:

   git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository.git

6. Push to GitHub

   Push your code to the main branch:

   git push -u origin main

7. Enable GitHub Pages
   1. Go to your repository on GitHub.
   2. Click on Settings > Pages.
   3. Under Source, select main branch and root directory (/).
   4. Click Save.

Setting Up a Custom Domain on GitHub Pages

1. Add a CNAME File

   In your project directory, create a file named CNAME (no extension) and add your custom domain inside:

   yourdomain.com

   Commit and push this file:

   git add CNAME
   git commit -m "Add custom domain"
   git push

2. Configure DNS Records

   Log in to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and set up the following DNS records:

   • A Records:

     Host	Points to
     @	185.199.108.153
     @	185.199.109.153
     @	185.199.110.153
     @	185.199.111.153

   • CNAME Record:

     Host	Points to
     www	yourusername.github.io

3. Enforce HTTPS
   1. Go back to your GitHub repository settings under Pages.
   2. Make sure your custom domain is correctly listed.
   3. Check the option Enforce HTTPS.

Now your website should be live at your custom domain using GitHub Pages!
