Deploying to GitHub Pages

This example supports deloying a statically exported Next.js application to GitHub Pages.

The out directory should not be ignored by version control.

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example github-pages nextjs-github-pages
# or
yarn create next-app --example github-pages nextjs-github-pages
# or
pnpm create next-app --example github-pages nextjs-github-pages

Deploy to GitHub Pages

  1. Create a new public GitHub repository.
  2. Edit next.config.js to match your GitHub repository name.
  3. Push the starter code to the main branch.
  4. Run the deploy script (e.g. npm run deploy) to create the gh-pages branch.
  5. On GitHub, go to Settings > Pages > Branch, and choose gh-pages as the branch with the /root folder. Hit Save.
  6. Make a change.
  7. Run the deploy script again to push the changes to GitHub Pages.

Congratulations! You should have a URL like:

https://<github-user-name>.github.io/<github-project-name>/
