## GitHub Pages
Quartz is designed to be effortless to deploy. If you forked and cloned Quartz directly from the repository, everything should already be good to go! You can head to `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME.github.io/quartz` to see it live.

Note: we specifically push to the `hugo` branch here. Our GitHub action automatically runs everytime a push to is detected to that branch and then updates the `master` branch for redeployment.
### Setting up the Site
Now let's get this site up and running. Never hosted a site before? No problem. Have a fancy custom domain you already own or want to subdomain your Quartz? That's easy too.
Here, we take advantage of GitHub's free page hosting to deploy our site. Change `baseURL` in `/config.toml`. If you don't have a custom domain to use, you can use `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io` (which GitHub gives to you for free!) as your domain.

### Registrar
This step is only applicable if you are using a **custom domain**! If you are using `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io`, you can skip this step.
For this last bit to take effect, you also need to create a CNAME record with the DNS provider you register your domain with (i.e. NameCheap, Google Domains).
GitHub has some [documentation on this](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site), but the tldr; is to
1. Go to your forked repository (`github.com/<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>/quartz`) settings page and go to the Pages tab. Under "Custom domain", type your custom domain, then click **Save**.
2. Go to your DNS Provider and create a CNAME record that points from your domain to `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME.github.io.` (yes, with the trailing period).

3. Wait 30 minutes to an hour for the network changes to kick in.
4. Done!
## External Hosting
Don't want to use GitHub Pages? Hugo builds everything for you! Everything is a packaged set of static files ready to deploy in `/public`. You can then upload this folder to a cloud provider to deploy. Alternatively, most providers also give users the option to link a GitHub repository and a folder to deploy. When doing this, ensure you select `/public` folder under the `master` branch.
Have a custom domain? [Learn how to set it up with Quartz ](custom%20Domain.md).
