From Command Line

You don't have a specific project at hand and you want to start from scratch? Below you can find instruction how to set up projects with popular web technologies and frameworks starting just from the command line.

Not what you are looking for? Start from a sample or deploy an existing repository.

Static Websites

A static website is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored on the web server. Static websites often consist out of HTML, CSS, JS and media files. Maintaining large numbers of files can be impractical without automated tools. Over the last years Static Site Generators evolved to face this problem. Below some classic representatives of this craft.

Html Site

The HyperText Markup Language, or HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.

  1. Create a simple plain html site
mkdir html-site
cd html-site
echo '<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<h1>Hello World!</h1>\n\t</body>\n</html>' > index.html
echo "file://`pwd`/index.html"
  1. Visit your site locally by copying stdout to your favorite browser bar.
  2. Now, create a new Git repository on GitHub and copy the URI of the repo to your clipboard.

Afterwards initialize git and push your project to the created GitHub repository by the following commands.

git init -b main
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/reponame.git # replace by URI of your repo
git push -u origin main
  1. Setup deployment

Sign in to your Deploy Now account and click Add new project. Next, choose your newly created project. With your selection Deploy Now will try to detect your framework specific on the fly and suggest an appropriate project package. In this case this should result in HTML without any further build steps. This is fine in this case. Just proceed and finalize the setup.

Select configuration

Now, take a short break until your project is deployed. Deploy Now will always show you the current build and deploy status of your project. If it's done Deploy Now provides a direct URL to your project.

Now, if you look at your repository you will find workflow files for build and deployment in .github/workflows. Feel free to customize your workflow from here.

PHP Site

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
