Creating a Static Web App

Creating a Static Web App

When creating a new static web app, there are two options that you can select to deploy your project.

---

Publish local code to a new GitHub repository

• If this is selected, you will be prompted for a workspace where your app's code exists.

  In a basic create, if there is only one folder opened in your workspace, that folder is automatically selected

• Select the organization to create the new repository in
• Provide a name for the new GitHub repository
• Select is the repo is private or public
• Provide a shortname for the remote repo

  In a basic create, this will default to "origin" unless the "origin" remote already exists

• If no .gitignore file exists, select which files to include in the repository

  This will generate a .gitignore file in the root of your project

---

Use an existing GitHub repository

• If this selected, you will prompted for which organization and repository you would like to deploy

  In a basic create, the branch to deploy is automatically the default branch

  In a basic create, if your currently opened project is connected to a GitHub repo that you own, then it will automatically select this repository for you.
  If this behavior is not desired, then you can use advanced creation or close the current project
