What Can Publify Do?

The coolest thing publify can do is publish a folder of static web pages and supporting assets to the web using Netlify, including adding a custom subdomain!

Here's the full menu, though, with more details under the headings below:

> pub help

Usage:
    pub help
    pub <rootpath> [<custom_domain>]             --------------------------------> deploy a site
    pub list                                     -------------------------------> list all sites
    pub custom <custom_domain> <existing_domain> --------------------------> set a custom domain
    pub remove-custom <custom_domain>            -----------------------> remove a custom domain
    pub delete/remove <domain or custom_domain>  --------------------------------> delete a site

Publish Sites to Netlify via CLI!

> ls mysite
└── folder
    ├── index.html
    ├── another_page.html
    ├── styles.css
    └── a.jpg
>
> pub mysite/
the site is published: http://6426ed336771f2380224fb84--scintillating-mochi-760bd3.netlify.app

Publish Sites to Netlify With Custom Subdomains Too!

> pub mysite dude.helpers.fun
the site is published: http://6426ee6a10e4e43866b46a42--startling-gingersnap-425138.netlify.app
the site is published at dude.helpers.fun.

If you only have one domain set up with Netlify, there's no need to include anything but the subdomain part:

> pub mysite/ dudette
the site is published: http://642718842cb34f02bc6b0137--cheery-daifuku-f3417f.netlify.app
the site is published at dudette.helpers.fun.

List All Your Sites!

> pub list

Add A Custom Subdomain To An Already Published Site!

> pub custom hey.helpers.fun preeminent-salamander-6262a7.netlify.app
the site is published at hey.helpers.fun. (originally 'preeminent-salamander-6262a7.netlify.app')

You can also provide partial names for the Netlify URLs, and also for the custom domains if you only have one domain listed in NETLIFY_DOMAINS:

> pub custom hey preeminent
the site is published at hey.helpers.fun. (originally 'preeminent-salamander-6262a7.netlify.app')

Remove a Custom Subdomain!

> pub remove-custom hey
'hey.helpers.fun' was removed

Delete An Entire Site!

Powerful stuff:

> pub delete preeminent
site 'http://preeminent-salamander-6262a7.netlify.app' was deleted

But First, a Bit of Configuration

To do this magic, you have to first

Create an environment variable NETLIFY_TOKEN, obtained here.
Create an environment variable NETLIFY_DOMAINS, with comma-separated values (no spaces), if you're planning to use custom domains.
Delegate DNS management of all domains listed in DOMAINS to Netlify (link)

TODO

add some color and spinners to the CLI using Rich
