GitHub Pages Setup Checklist

✅ Completed Setup Tasks

Your repository has been configured for GitHub Pages hosting with the following setup:

1. GitHub Actions Workflow ✅

  • File: .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml
  • What it does: Automatically builds and deploys to GitHub Pages on every push
  • Triggers: Pushes to main branch or manual workflow dispatch

2. GitHub Configuration Files ✅

  • .nojekyll in javascript/ folder - Serves static files without Jekyll processing
  • _config.yml in root - Jekyll configuration for GitHub Pages
  • .github/dependabot.yml - Automated security updates for dependencies

3. Local Development Scripts ✅

  • setup-github-pages.sh - Linux/macOS setup and testing
  • setup-github-pages.bat - Windows setup and testing

4. Documentation ✅

  • GITHUB_PAGES_SETUP.md - Quick start guide (READ THIS FIRST!)
  • docs/HOSTING_GUIDE.md - Comprehensive hosting documentation

📋 Required Actions on GitHub

Step 1: Enable GitHub Pages

  1. Go to your repository on GitHub
  2. Click SettingsPages
  3. Under "Build and deployment":
    • Source: Select GitHub Actions
  4. Click Save

Step 2: Push Your Changes

git add .
git commit -m "Configure GitHub Pages hosting"
git push origin main

Step 3: Monitor First Deployment

  1. Go to Actions tab on GitHub
  2. Wait for the "Deploy to GitHub Pages" workflow to complete
  3. Should take 2-5 minutes

Step 4: Access Your Site

Your site will be available at:

https://<username>.github.io/<repository-name>/

🧪 Local Testing (Optional but Recommended)

Linux/macOS

./setup-github-pages.sh
# Compiles and starts server on http://localhost:8000/

Windows

setup-github-pages.bat
# Compiles and starts server on http://localhost:8000/

Manual Build

./CompileEPK.sh
./CompileJS.sh
cd javascript
python3 -m http.server 8000

📁 What Gets Deployed

Only the javascript/ folder is deployed to GitHub Pages. This folder contains:

  • index.html - Main entry point
  • classes.js - Compiled game client
  • assets.epk - Game assets
  • lang/ - Language files
  • favicon.png - Website icon

All other folders (src/, build.gradle, docs/, etc.) are excluded from deployment.

🔍 Verification Checklist

After setup is complete, verify:

  • GitHub Pages enabled in repository settings
  • Workflow completed successfully (check Actions tab)
  • Site accessible at GitHub Pages URL
  • Game loads and initializes properly
  • No console errors (F12 to check)
  • Assets load correctly
  • Server connection works (if applicable)

❓ Common Questions

How often does it deploy?

Every time you push to the main branch, the workflow runs automatically.

Can I use a custom domain?

Yes! Add a CNAME file with your domain name to the javascript/ folder and configure DNS.

What if the build fails?

Check the Actions tab for error logs. Common issues:

  • Missing dependencies
  • Java version incompatible
  • Permissions issues

Is my site public?

Yes, GitHub Pages sites are public by default. To make it private, you need a GitHub Pro subscription.

Can I disable auto-deploy?

Yes, delete .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml and deploy manually elsewhere.
