add some instructions, how to deploy to netlify (how this example to get work)

[aisbergde]

Could you please help with some information or instruction how to deploy this to netlify (as you did) and to make it to work there?

What is wrong or missing in the following steps?

• I created a new repository, based on this repository here
• I created an account on netlify
• I connected netlify with github
• I used "build site from existing repository" and just used my new repository as source
• netlify shows: site is deployed (checkmark)
• but the link to this site shows only "page not found"

Some questions:

• is this the right way, just to "build site from repository"?
• are there some steps missing, you did, to make your site working on netlify?

use ./gradlew bake to build the site and ./gradlew bakePreview to start a little webserver.

This works fine, locally. But nothing is created which should be commited to the repository. So I think, these are only local operations to check the result.
But netlify should build the site on the server?
And how netlify should or would know that it should build the site? I think this information is somehow included into the projects scripts?

I am afraid, here is something missing:

But the instructions https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/common-configurations/
are about several systems, but not about the used jBake

These are settings I tried:

Repository: github.com/DataHandwerk/doc
Base directory: Not set
Build command: gradlew bake
Publish directory: build/jbake
Deploy log visibility: Logs are public
Builds: Active

I got it to work, it look like the "./" has some importance :-)

Build command: ./gradlew bake

Could you add some hints into the readme to make the usage for other newbies (like me) a bit easier?
