Deploy to Github Pages

You can deploy to github pages with a couple minor changes to Polymer Starter Kit:

  1. Uncomment this line // app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/'; in app.js near the top
// Sets app default base URL
app.baseUrl = '/';
if (window.location.port === '') {  // if production
  // Uncomment app.baseURL below and
  // set app.baseURL to '/your-pathname/' if running from folder in production
  // app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/';
}

  1. Change app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/'; to app.baseUrl = '/your-pathname/'; (ex: if you repo is github.com/username/bobs-awesome-site you would change this to app.baseUrl = '/bobs-awesome-site/';)

  2. Add this code at the top of <head> tag in the index.html to force HTTPS:

<script>'https:'!==window.location.protocol&&(window.location.protocol='https')</script>

  1. Run gulp build-deploy-gh-pages from command line

  2. To see changes wait 1-2 minutes then load Github pages for your app (ex: https://polymerelements.github.io/polymer-starter-kit)

Notes

  • When deploying to Github Pages we recommend using hashbangs which is Polymer Starter Kit default.
  • This method should work for most hosting providers when using a subfolder.
