| 1 | +# 🚀 GitHub Pages Deployment Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## ✅ Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow Created! |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +I've created the GitHub Actions workflow file at: |
| 6 | +``` |
| 7 | +.github/workflows/deploy.yml |
| 8 | +``` |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +This workflow will **automatically deploy** your app to GitHub Pages whenever you push to: |
| 11 | +- `main` branch |
| 12 | +- `master` branch |
| 13 | +- `dev_v1` branch (your current branch) |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +--- |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## 📋 Step 2: Commit and Push the Workflow File |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Run these commands in your terminal: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```bash |
| 22 | +# Navigate to your project directory (if not already there) |
| 23 | +cd "c:\Users\Ashish jha\Desktop\PERSONAL\CodeToContext" |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +# Add the workflow file |
| 26 | +git add .github/workflows/deploy.yml |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +# Also add any other changes (logo, icons, etc.) |
| 29 | +git add . |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +# Commit everything |
| 32 | +git commit -m "feat: Add GitHub Actions workflow for automatic deployment" |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +# Push to GitHub |
| 35 | +git push origin dev_v1 |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +--- |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## ⚙️ Step 3: Enable GitHub Pages in Repository Settings |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Option A: Using GitHub Actions (Recommended) |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +1. **Go to your repository on GitHub:** |
| 45 | + ``` |
| 46 | + https://github.com/Ashjha75/CocdeToContext |
| 47 | + ``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +2. **Click on "Settings" tab** (top right of your repo) |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +3. **Scroll down to "Pages"** in the left sidebar |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +4. **Under "Build and deployment":** |
| 54 | + - **Source:** Select **"GitHub Actions"** (NOT "Deploy from a branch") |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +5. **Save** (if there's a save button) |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +6. **Wait a few moments** - GitHub Actions will automatically deploy! |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Option B: Manual Verification |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +After pushing, you can verify the deployment: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +1. **Go to "Actions" tab** in your repository |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +2. **You should see a workflow running** called "Deploy to GitHub Pages" |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +3. **Wait for the green checkmark** ✅ (usually takes 1-2 minutes) |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +4. **Your site will be live at:** |
| 71 | + ``` |
| 72 | + https://ashjha75.github.io/CocdeToContext/ |
| 73 | + ``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +--- |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## 🎯 What the Workflow Does |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +```yaml |
| 80 | +# Triggers on push to main, master, or dev_v1 |
| 81 | +on: |
| 82 | + push: |
| 83 | + branches: ["main", "master", "dev_v1"] |
| 84 | + workflow_dispatch: # Allows manual trigger |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +# Two jobs: |
| 87 | +1. Build - Uploads your files |
| 88 | +2. Deploy - Publishes to GitHub Pages |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +**Benefits:** |
| 92 | +- ✅ Automatic deployment on every push |
| 93 | +- ✅ No manual build steps needed |
| 94 | +- ✅ Fast deployment (1-2 minutes) |
| 95 | +- ✅ Can manually trigger from Actions tab |
| 96 | +- ✅ Works with your current branch (dev_v1) |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +--- |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +## 🔍 Troubleshooting |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Issue 1: Workflow doesn't run |
| 103 | +**Solution:** |
| 104 | +- Make sure you pushed the `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` file |
| 105 | +- Check the "Actions" tab is enabled in repository settings |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### Issue 2: Deployment fails |
| 108 | +**Solution:** |
| 109 | +- Check "Actions" tab for error messages |
| 110 | +- Verify GitHub Pages is set to "GitHub Actions" source |
| 111 | +- Make sure repository is public (or you have GitHub Pro for private repos) |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Issue 3: Site shows 404 |
| 114 | +**Solution:** |
| 115 | +- Wait 2-3 minutes after deployment completes |
| 116 | +- Clear browser cache |
| 117 | +- Check the URL is correct: `https://ashjha75.github.io/CocdeToContext/` |
| 118 | + |
