::: tip This document is forked from the vuepress official doc. :::

The following guide is based on the following conditions:

• The Markdown source files are placed in the docs directory of your project;
• The default build output directory (.vuepress/dist) is used;
• pnpm is used as the package manager, although npm or yarn is also supported;
• VuePress is installed as a project dependency, and the following script is configured in package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "docs:build": "vuepress build docs"
  }
}

GitHub Pages

1. Set the correct base option.

   If you are going to publish to https://<USERNAME>.github.io/, you can skip this step because the default base is "/".

   If you are going to publish to https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPO>/, which means your repository address is https://github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO>, set base to "/<REPO>/".

2. Choose the CI tool you want to use. Here we take GitHub Actions as an example.

   Create the .github/workflows/docs.yml file to configure the workflow.

GitLab Pages

1. Set the correct base option.

   If you are going to publish to https://<USERNAME>.gitlab.io/, you can skip this step, so the default base is "/".

   If you are going to publish to https://<USERNAME>.gitlab.io/<REPO>/, which means your repository address is https://gitlab.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO>, set base to "/<REPO>/".

2. Create the .gitlab-ci.yml file to configure the GitLab CI workflow.

CloudBase

CloudBase is a cloud-native integrated Serverless cloud platform that supports multiple hosting capabilities such as static websites and containers, and provides a simple deployment tool CloudBase Framework to deploy applications with one click.

1. Install CloudBase CLI globally:

   pnpm install -g @cloudbase/cli
   

2. Run the following commands in the root directory of your project to deploy the VuePress application with one click. Before deployment, you can first activate the environment:

   cloudbase init --without-template
   cloudbase framework:deploy
   

The CloudBase CLI will first redirect to the console for login authorization, and then interactively confirm.

After confirming the information, deployment will start immediately. After deployment, you will obtain a website application with automatic SSL and CDN acceleration. You can also use GitHub Action to continuously deploy VuePress applications on GitHub.

You can also use cloudbase init --template vuepress to quickly create and deploy a new VuePress application.

::: tip For more detailed information, please see the deployment project example of CloudBase Framework. :::
