Sapper on GitHub Pages

Deploy an exported Sapper site to GitHub Pages

Server changes

src/server.js needs to be modified to mount the Sapper middleware at process.env.BASE_NAME || '/' by adding that as the first argument to .use:

	.use(
		process.env.BASE_NAME || '/',
		...
	)

Deployment

The included deploy.sh script first needs to be edited so that the BASE_NAME is the path that the exported site will live at. If you are deploying to username.github.io/reponame, this is reponame. If you are deploying to the root path of some other domain, this is /.

deploy.sh will build and export the Sapper site to __sapper__/export. Then it will create a commit on the gh-pages branch off HEAD which checks in only the exported files, brought up to the root of the repository, so they will be served from the right paths. Then it force pushes the gh-pages branch to origin.
