Prerequisites

A Firebase account.
A Firebase project.
Install Firebase CLI - see documentation
A Firebase deploy token (FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN). See Documentation

$ firebase login:ci

A Google Cloud account
Install Google Cloud SDK - see documentation
Your project's code in a remote GIT repository (Github, Bitbucket or Cloud Source repository)

🚀 Quick start

Create a Gatsby site.

Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the default starter.

# create a new Gatsby site using the default starter
gatsby new my-firebase-hosting-starter https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-firebase-hosting-starter

Start developing.

Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.
```
cd my-firebase-hosting-starter/
gatsby develop
```
Open the source code and start editing!

Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

Open the my-firebase-hosting-starter directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
Associate your project with a Firebase Project

If you have not done so already, first login to firebase from the command line:
```
$ firebase login
```
Check that you have access to your firebase project:
```
# list available firebase projects
$ firebase list
```
Associate this project directory with a Firebase project. When prompted choose the alias of your choice (e.g. default).
```
$ firebase use --add
```
Setup Cloud Build

Login to the Google Cloud Console
Click the project dropdown menu. In the dialog that opens select the 'ALL' tab. Select the Firebase project you wish to use.
Navigate to the Cloud Build section
Click 'Enable Cloud Build API'. (If you are prompted to setup billing, instructions on how to do this can be found here or navigate directly to the Billing section)
Login to Google Cloud on the command line

$ gcloud auth login

Check that you have access to your project

$ gcloud projects list

Associate this project directory with your gcloud project.

$ gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

Submit a build to Cloud Build which uses the cloudbuild.yaml build config and the source in the firebase directory. The build installs the firebase tool in the environment. Then, the tool is containerized and pushed to your Container Registry.

gcloud builds submit --config=./firebase/cloudbuild.yaml ./firebase/

Run your first deploy from the command line to check everything is working correctly

gcloud builds submit --config=cloudbuild.deploy.yaml . --substitutions=_FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN="[FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN]"

🧐 What's inside?

A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

├── firebase
├── node_modules
├── src
├── tests
├── .firebaserc
├── .gitignore
├── cloudbuild.deploy.yaml
├── firebase.json

/config: This directory contains configuration files for ESlint and lint-staged. The ESlint configuration uses the recommended settings from the Gatsby docs. The lint-staged configuration will lint all files staged files on a precommit hook.
/firebase: This directory contains the build configuration for adding a custom Firebase build step that will enable you to usefirebase-tools in Cloud Build as documented here.
/node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.
/src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for “source code”.
/tests: This directory contains the setup for Jest as documented in the Gatsby Unit testing documentation
.firebaserc: Stores yout firebase project aliases
.gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.
cloudbuild.deploy.yaml: This file contains the build configuration for Cloud Build to run the following scripts as build steps:

# Install all project dependencies
npm install

# Valididate source code complies with linting rules and run's Jest Unit tests.
npm run validate

# build gatsby source
npm run build

# Deploy built source to firebase
firebase deploy

firebase.json: Your firebase project configuration. See the documentation for more information
gatsby-browser.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby browser APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser.

gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).
gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.
gatsby-ssr.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.
LICENSE: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.
package-lock.json (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).
package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.
README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
