Getting started!
Let's start with an overview of what we are trying to achieve.
The code of the website lies on a dedicated branch of the GitLanding repo. The files that are actualy served by GitHub Page lies on the
gh_page
branch and is put there using this GitHub Action.MacOS
Windows
Ubuntu/Debian
# Only if you don't have yarn already
# (you need https://brew.sh to run the next command)
brew install yarn
#
git clone https://github.com/<user_name>/<project_name> <project_name>_landingpage
cd <project_name>_landingpage
git checkout --orphan landingpage && git rm -rf .
yarn create react-app . --template gitlanding
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push --set-upstream origin landingpage
Open a Powershell terminal
git clone https://github.com/<user_name>/<project_name> <project_name>_landingpage
cd <project_name>_landingpage
git checkout --orphan landingpage
git rm -rf .
yarn create react-app . --template gitlanding
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push --set-upstream origin landingpage
# Using Ubuntu
sudo su
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
# Using Debian
su root
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -
####
apt-get install -y nodejs
npm install -g yarn
Open a new terminal
git clone https://github.com/<user_name>/<project_name> <project_name>_landingpage
cd <project_name>_landingpage
git checkout --orphan landingpage && git rm -rf .
# If you get: 'yarn: error: no such option: --template' running the following command. It means you have 'yarn' from cmdtest, we need yarn the package manager.
yarn create react-app . --template gitlanding
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push --set-upstream origin landingpage
Next you'll have to enable GitHub page in your repo. Navigate to your repository on Github and go to
Setting > Pages
, then set the gh-pages
branch as the branch from witch the site is to be built.You may need to wait a few minutes for the initial gh-pages branche to be created by your GitHub Action workflow
.github/workflows/deploy.yaml

https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO/settings/pages
If all went as expected you page should be up and running

You're now ready to customise your app.
