title: "Deploying Quartz to the Web"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## GitHub Pages
|
|
Quartz is designed to be effortless to deploy. If you forked and cloned Quartz directly from the repository, everything should already be good to go! You can head to `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME.github.io/quartz` to see it live.
|
|
|
|
### Enable GitHub Actions
|
|
By default, GitHub disables workflows from running automatically on Forked Repostories. Head to the 'Actions' tab of your forked repository and Enable Workflows to setup deploying your Quartz site!
|
|
|
|
*Enable GitHub Actions*
|
|
|
|
### Enable GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
Head to the 'Settings' tab of your forked repository and go to the 'Pages' tab.
|
|
|
|
1. Set the source to deploy from `master` using `/ (root)`
|
|
2. Set a custom domain here if you have one!
|
|
|
|
*Enable GitHub Pages*
|
|
|
|
### Pushing Changes
|
|
To see your changes on the internet, we need to push it them to GitHub. Quartz is essentially a `git` repository so updating it is the same workflow as you would follow as normal.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Navigate to Quartz folder
|
|
cd <path-to-quartz>
|
|
|
|
# Commit all changes
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "message describing changes"
|
|
|
|
# Push to GitHub to update site
|
|
git push origin hugo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting up the Site
|
|
Now let's get this site up and running. Never hosted a site before? No problem. Have a fancy custom domain you already own or want to subdomain your Quartz? That's easy too.
|
|
|
|
Here, we take advantage of GitHub's free page hosting to deploy our site. Change `baseURL` in `/config.toml`. If you don't have a custom domain to use, you can use `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io` (which GitHub gives to you for free!) as your domain.
|
|
|
|
[Reference.](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/blob/hugo/config.toml)
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
baseURL = "https://<YOUR-DOMAIN>/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change `cname` in `/.github/workflows/deploy.yaml`. Again, if you don't have a custom domain to use, you can use `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
[Reference.](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/blob/hugo/.github/workflows/deploy.yaml)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Deploy
|
|
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # this can stay as is, GitHub fills this in for us!
|
|
publish_dir: ./public
|
|
publish_branch: master
|
|
cname: <YOUR-DOMAIN>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Registrar
|
|
This step is only applicable if you are using a **custom domain**! If you are using `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io`, you can skip this step.
|
|
|
|
For this last bit to take effect, you also need to create a CNAME record with the DNS provider you register your domain with (i.e. NameCheap, Google Domains).
|
|
|
|
GitHub has some [documentation on this](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site), but the tldr; is to
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your forked repository (`github.com/<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>/quartz`) settings page and go to the Pages tab. Under "Custom domain", type your custom domain, then click **Save**.
|
|
2. Go to your DNS Provider and create a CNAME record that points from your domain to `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME.github.io.` (yes, with the trailing period).
|
|
|
|

|
3. Wait 30 minutes to an hour for the network changes to kick in.
|
|
4. Done!
|
|
|
|
## External Hosting
|
|
Don't want to use GitHub Pages? Hugo builds everything for you! Everything is a packaged set of static files ready to deploy in `/public`. You can then upload this folder to a cloud provider to deploy. Alternatively, most providers also give users the option to link a GitHub repository and a folder to deploy. When doing this, ensure you select `/public` folder under the `master` branch.
