::: tip
## Build and test locally
If your site is to be served at a subdirectory (`https://example.com/subdir/`), then you have to set `'/subdir/'` as the [`base`](../config/app-configs#base) in your `docs/.vitepress/config.js`.
:::
You may run `yarn docs:build` command to build the docs.
## Build and Test Locally
```bash
- You may run this command to build the docs:
$ yarn docs:build
```
By default, the build output will be placed at `.vitepress/dist`. You may deploy this `dist` folder to any of your preferred platforms.
```sh
$ yarn docs:build
```
Once you've built the docs, you may test them locally by running `yarn docs:serve` command.
- Once you've built the docs, you can test them locally by running:
```bash
```sh
$ yarn docs:build
$ yarn docs:serve
$ yarn docs:serve
```
```
The `serve` command will boot up local static web server that serves the files from `.vitepress/dist` at `http://localhost:5000`. It's an easy way to check if the production build looks OK in your local environment.
The `serve` command will boot up a local static web server that will serve the files from `.vitepress/dist` at `http://localhost:5000`. It's an easy way to check if the production build looks fine in your local environment.
You may configure the port of the server by passing `--port` flag as an argument.
- You can configure the port of the server by passing `--port` as an argument.
```json
```json
{
{
"scripts": {
"scripts": {
"docs:serve": "vitepress serve docs --port 8080"
"docs:serve": "vitepress serve docs --port 8080"
}
}
}
}
```
```
Now the `docs:serve` method will launch the server at `http://localhost:8080`.
## GitHub Pages
1. Set the correct `base` in `docs/.vitepress/config.js`.
If you are deploying to `https://<USERNAME>.github.io/`, you can omit `base` as it defaults to `'/'`.
If you are deploying to `https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPO>/`, for example your repository is at `https://github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO>`, then set `base` to `'/<REPO>/'`.
2. Inside your project, create `deploy.sh` with the following content (with highlighted lines uncommented appropriately), and run it to deploy:
```bash{13,20,23}
#!/usr/bin/env sh
# abort on errors
set -e
# build
Now the `docs:serve` method will launch the server at `http://localhost:8080`.
Set up a new project and change these settings using your dashboard:
# echo 'www.example.com' > CNAME
git init
- **Build Command:**`yarn docs:build`
git add -A
- **Output Directory:**`docs/.vitepress/dist`
git commit -m 'deploy'
# if you are deploying to https://<USERNAME>.github.io
::: warning
# git push -f git@github.com:<USERNAME>/<USERNAME>.github.io.git main
Don't enable options like _Auto Minify_ for HTML code. It will remove comments from output which have meaning to Vue. You may see hydration mismatch errors if they get removed.
:::
# if you are deploying to https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPO>
1. Create a file named `deploy.yml` inside `.github/workflow` directory of your project with the following content:
You can also run the above script in your CI setup to enable automatic deployment on each push.
:::
## GitHub Pages and Travis CI
```yaml
name: Deploy
1. Set the correct `base` in `docs/.vitepress/config.js`.
on:
push:
branches:
- main
If you are deploying to `https://<USERNAME or GROUP>.github.io/`, you can omit `base` as it defaults to `'/'`.
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: 16
cache: yarn
- run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
If you are deploying to `https://<USERNAME or GROUP>.github.io/<REPO>/`, for example your repository is at `https://github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO>`, then set `base` to `'/<REPO>/'`.
- name: Build
run: yarn docs:build
2. Create a file named `.travis.yml` in the root of your project.
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: docs/.vitepress/dist
```
3. Run `yarn` or `npm install` locally and commit the generated lockfile (that is `yarn.lock` or `package-lock.json`).
2. Now commit your code and push it to the `main` branch.
4. Use the GitHub Pages deploy provider template, and follow the [Travis CI documentation](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages).
3. Wait for actions to complete. Then select `gh-pages` branch as GitHub Pages source in your repository settings. Now your docs will automatically deploy each time you push.
```yaml
## GitLab Pages

node_js:

# A token generated on GitHub allowing Travis to push code on you repository.
# Set in the Travis settings page of your repository, as a secure variable.
github_token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
keep_history: true

## Netlify
1. On [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/), setup up a new project from GitHub with the following settings:
## Azure Static Web Apps
- **Build Command:**`vitepress build docs` or `yarn docs:build` or `npm run docs:build`
1. Follow the [official documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/build-configuration).
- **Publish directory:**`docs/.vitepress/dist`
2. Hit the deploy button.
2. Set these values in your configuration file:
## Google Firebase
- **`app_location`**: `/`
- **`output_location`**: `docs/.vitepress/dist`
- **`app_build_command`**: `yarn docs:build`
1. Make sure you have [firebase-tools](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase-tools) installed.
## Firebase
2. Create `firebase.json` and `.firebaserc` at the root of your project with the following content:
1. Create `firebase.json` and `.firebaserc` at the root of your project:
`firebase.json`:

"hosting": {
"public": "./docs/.vitepress/dist",
"public": "docs/.vitepress/dist",
"ignore": []
"ignore": []
}
}
}
}
```
```
`.firebaserc`:
`.firebaserc`:
```js
```json
{
{

"projects": {
"default": "<YOUR_FIREBASE_ID>"
"default": "<YOUR_FIREBASE_ID>"
}
}
}
}
```
```
3. After running `yarn docs:build` or `npm run docs:build`, deploy using the command `firebase deploy`.
## Surge
2. After running `yarn docs:build`, run this command to deploy:
1. First install [surge](https://www.npmjs.com/package/surge), if you haven’t already.
```sh
firebase deploy
```
2. Run `yarn docs:build` or `npm run docs:build`.
## Surge
3. Deploy to surge by typing `surge docs/.vitepress/dist`.
1. After running `yarn docs:build`, run this command to deploy:
You can also deploy to a [custom domain](https://surge.sh/help/adding-a-custom-domain) by adding `surge docs/.vitepress/dist yourdomain.com`.
# opens a browser to view the Dashboard version of Heroku CI
$ heroku open
```
## Vercel
To deploy your VitePress app with a [Vercel for Git](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/git), make sure it has been pushed to a Git repository.
Go to https://vercel.com/new and import the project into Vercel using your Git of choice (GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket). Follow the wizard to select the project root with the project's `package.json` and override the build step using `yarn docs:build` or `npm run docs:build` and the output dir to be `./docs/.vitepress/dist`
After your project has been imported, all subsequent pushes to branches will generate Preview Deployments, and all changes made to the Production Branch (commonly "main") will result in a Production Deployment.
Once deployed, you will get a URL to see your app live, such as the following: https://vitepress.vercel.app
## Layer0
## Layer0
See [Creating and Deploying a VitePress App with Layer0](https://docs.layer0.co/guides/vitepress).
Refer [Creating and Deploying a VitePress App with Layer0](https://docs.layer0.co/guides/vitepress).
## Cloudflare Pages
1. Go to [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) > Account Home > Pages and selecting **Create a project**.
2. You will see three options, just select first **Connect to a git provider**.
3. Click Connect GitHub or Connect GitLab. Then select the repo you want to deploy.
4. Set up build docs command, like `npm run build` or `npm run docs:build`.
5. Now deploy, you will get a domain like `my-project.pages.dev`.
::: warning Do not Auto Minify HTML
If you want or are using Cloudflare's Auto minify feature, you should not check the html box.
With Auto Minify, Cloudflare will automatically remove the comments in the html file, however, html comments for Vue has meanings. For example, it works as a placeholder for `v-if`.
If it gets removed, then you will probably see a hydration mismatch error.

## Azure Static Web App using GitHub Actions
1. Go to https://portal.azure.com
2. Create [Azure Static Web App](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/static/) free tier.
3. Don't connect GitHub to Azure Static Web App.
4. When the resource is deployed open it click on 'Manage deployment token' and copy the token.
5. Open your GitHub repository and go to 'Settings' -> 'Secrets' -> 'Actions' -> 'New repository secret'
6. Enter name 'AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APP_TOKEN'
7. Paste deployment token from Azure Static Web App
8. In GiHub repository create '.github/workflows/cd.yml' and fill it like this:
