Hosted on github pages at willrossen.com

Built With

• JavaScript
• React
• Tailwind

Steps for Updating and Deploying

• The main React project is located on branch main
• The deployed static build files are located on branch gh-pages
• To deploy updates:
  • Confirm package.json has been updated with:
    • "homepage": "https://www.willrossen.com/" , at the top level
    • in existing scripts add:

      "scripts": {
        //...
        "predeploy": "npm run build",
        "deploy": "gh-pages -d build"
        }
      

  • run npm run deploy
    • creates new build
    • pushes build to gh-pages branch
  • Update Pages settings for the repo
    • navigate to Settings
    • navigate to Pages
    • set and save Custom Domain to willrossen.com
      • every time you deploy, github resets the domain to https://wor101.github.io/personal-site/
      • For now, the only solution is to manually reset the Custom Domain each time
  • remember to add, commit, and push any changes to branch main
