github

Github is a website which people use to manage their code. Github is built for displaying your git codebase. A service to compare GitHub to would be azure.

Github has a lot of features like Actions which could, for example deploy your app. With this feature also comes Github Pages, which is a way to deploy static websites on GitHub their services. This is for example how my LocalNodeBox website is hosted.

GitHub is a Microsoft owned company. They also have their own AI called Github Copilot.

Github Actions

GitHub actions works with yaml or originally known as Yet Another Markup Language or now known as YAML Ain’t Markup Lamguage.

you’d need for example a deploy.yml which defines what it will do for example, whenever you push to a specific branch.

hosting angular with a different url

It is the same as this guide above, but it changes from at step 4: 4. add a CNAME file in the src/ folder of your angular project. this CNAME file must contain your webAdress, for example: oldmartijntje.nl 5. go to angular.json, somewhere in there there is the following: json "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets" ], Add "src/CNAME": json "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets", "src/CNAME" ], If this code snippet appears multiple times, make sure you have the one inside of "build": { and not "test": {
