Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Within your project, include the if statement code ("Setup", above) in your config/environment.js file, adding your unique github repo name.
  2. In the top level of your project, create an empty index.html file and include the code and link provided above (index.html), adding your own GitHub URL and repo name.
  3. In the console, move into your project folder and commit the changes.
  4. Create a gh-pages branch by running $git checkout -b gh-pages.
  5. Move into your gh-pages branch and run $ember build --environment production (must have npm and bower installed first). This builds your project for production and creates a dist folder in your project.
  6. Run $git add --force dist. This forces git to commit the dist folder, even though it is in your .gitignore file.
  7. Commit.
  8. $git push (remote-repo-name) gh-pages
  9. View the project at your-github-URL.github.io/your-repo-name

This was a life saver, thanks so much!

Wanted to add a couple more steps for when you make updates to the site and need to refresh the gh-pages. May be obvious, but wanted to document it.

  1. $git checkout gh-pages
  2. $git merge master
  3. $ember build --environment production
  4. $git add --force dist
  5. $ commit.
    6 $git push (remote-repo-name) gh-pages
