Today, I deployed a React app to GitHub Pages. You can visit the deployed app, at https://gitname.github.io/react-gh-pages/.
This repository contains the files involved in that endeavor. Specifically, it contains the source code files (e.g. App.js, index.js, package.json, and the README.md document you're reading now) and the files that consitute a build of the app.
The source code files are stored in this repository's master branch, while the files that constitute the build are stored in this repository's gh-pages branch.
The remainder of this document contains a tutorial on creating a React app (using create-react-app) and deploying that app to GitHub Pages.
- Coming soon...
I created this React app using create-react-app. By default, apps created using create-react-app have a README.md file that looks like this. Indeed, the README.md file you're now reading originally looked like that. I have since changed it to look the way it looks today.
