how to publish to github pages?

Question

i am having trouble understanding some basic instructions on publishing to github pages. There is a new way to publish Angular projects made with Angular Cli; i am following dir

Answer 1

Try this (for mac) :

1. $ npm install -g angular-cli-ghpages

2. Push your code to a github repo and then run this in terminal: ng build --env=prod --base-href "https://yourgithubusername.github.io/yourprojectname/" here 'yourprojectname' is the name of your github repo, not your local repo.

3. If everything works fine, then run : sudo angular-cli-ghpages and enter password.

Answer 2

I was successfully able to push to github pages using command

angular-cli-ghpages --repo=https://github.com/parthghiya/testrepo.git --name=parthghiya --email=parth.ghiya@knowarth.com --no-silent

Repo Link : https://github.com/parthghiya/testrepo

I did ng build --prod --base href .

Steps i Did :

1. Generated My SSH & Added it.

2. Executed the push command.

Edit :

To Add more than one folders

Create folder parallel to assets, i created 2 folders Parth & Ghiya. Then added following entry in angular-cli.json

"assets": [
        "assets","parth","ghiya",
        "favicon.ico",
        "manifest.json"
      ],

So the dist folder now contains 3 folders now assets, parth & ghiya. Then executed the above push command as earlier.

Answer 3

The option to deploy to github via the angular cli was removed.
