## GitHub Pages
|
|
Quartz is designed to be effortless to deploy. If you forked and cloned Quartz directly from the repository, everything should already be good to go! Follow the steps below.
|
|
|
|
### Enable GitHub Actions
|
|
By default, GitHub disables workflows from running automatically on Forked Repostories. Head to the 'Actions' tab of your forked repository and Enable Workflows to setup deploying your Quartz site!
|
|
|
|
*Enable GitHub Actions*
|
|
|
|
### Enable GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
Head to the 'Settings' tab of your forked repository and go to the 'Pages' tab.
|
|
|
|
1. (IMPORTANT) Set the source to deploy from `master` (and not `hugo`) using `/ (root)`
|
|
2. Set a custom domain here if you have one!
|
|
|
|
*Enable GitHub Pages*
|
|
|
|
### Pushing Changes
|
|
To see your changes on the internet, we need to push it them to GitHub. Quartz is a `git` repository so updating it is the same workflow as you would follow as if it were just a regular software project.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Navigate to Quartz folder
|
|
cd <path-to-quartz>
|
|
|
|
# Commit all changes
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "message describing changes"
|
|
|
|
# Push to GitHub to update site
|
|
git push origin hugo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: we specifically push to the `hugo` branch here. Our GitHub action automatically runs everytime a push to is detected to that branch and then updates the `master` branch for redeployment.
|
|
|
|
### Setting up the Site
|
|
Now let's get this site up and running. Never hosted a site before? No problem. Have a fancy custom domain you already own or want to subdomain your Quartz? That's easy too.
|
|
|
|
Here, we take advantage of GitHub's free page hosting to deploy our site. Change `baseURL` in `/config.toml`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that your `baseURL` has a trailing `/`!
|
|
|
|
[Reference `config.toml` here](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/blob/hugo/config.toml)
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
baseURL = "https://<YOUR-DOMAIN>/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using this under a subdomain (e.g. `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>.github.io/quartz`), include the trailing `/`.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
baseURL = "https://<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>.github.io/quartz/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change `cname` in `/.github/workflows/deploy.yaml`. Again, if you don't have a custom domain to use, you can use `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the `cname` field should *not* have any path `e.g. end with /quartz` or have a trailing `/`.
|
|
|
|
[Reference `deploy.yaml` here](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/blob/hugo/.github/workflows/deploy.yaml)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Deploy
|
|
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # this can stay as is, GitHub fills this in for us!
|
|
publish_dir: ./public
|
|
publish_branch: master
|
|
cname: <YOUR-DOMAIN>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
