If you don't already know, GitHub offers free and awesome publishing of static sites through [https://pages.github.com/](GitHub Pages).
To publish your scene to your personal GitHub Pages:
npm run deploy
And, it'll now be live at http://your_username.github.io/ :)
To know which GitHub repo to deploy to, the deploy script first looks at the optional repository key in the package.json file (see npm docs for sample usage). If the repository key is missing, the script falls back to using the local git repo's remote origin URL (you can run the local command git remote -v to see all your remotes; also, you may refer to the GitHub docs for more information).
First make sure you have Node installed.
On Mac OS X, it's recommended to use Homebrew to install Node + npm:
brew install node
To install the Node dependencies:
npm install
To serve the site from a simple Node development server:
npm start
Then launch the site from your favourite browser:
If you wish to serve the site from a different port:
PORT=8000 npm start
