Create your first static website using Fleek.co and IPFS

Tools:

  • Fleek.co account
  • GitHub account
  • Text editor

Step 1: Set Up a Repo on Github

Create an empty repository, clone it and start coding.

Create an index.html file and add some content.

add, commit, push (you know the drill)

Now you’re repository is ready to go!

Step 2: Set Up Fleek.co

Sign into: https://app.fleek.co/

Sign in with Github

Add New Site

Connect with Github.

Pick a repository.

In this example, there is no Build command nor Public directory

Deploy Site

Deployment takes 30 seconds.

Once complete, view your website.

You can view the website using the provided domain name.

Or verify with the CID.

Step 3: Updates

Fleek will automatically redeploy your website whenever you make changes on GitHub. The provided domain name will remain the same and will point to the new CID. This enables you to build fast modern websites hosted on IPFS.
