Svelte Template with GitHub Pages Compatibility

This Svelte template provides a starting point for building web applications using the Svelte framework. It is designed with built-in compatibility for deploying your application to GitHub Pages.

Features

Svelte: Utilizes the Svelte framework for building efficient and reactive web applications.
GitHub Pages Compatibility: Designed to seamlessly work with GitHub Pages for easy deployment.
Optimized Build: Configured to generate optimized and production-ready builds.
Routing: Includes client-side routing for creating multi-page applications.
CSS Preprocessor: Supports CSS preprocessor, allowing you to use languages like SCSS or Less.
Static Assets: Easily manage and reference static assets such as images or fonts.
Development Server: Includes a development server for rapid local development and testing.
Hot Module Replacement: Supports Hot Module Replacement for instant feedback during development.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

Node.js (v12 or higher)
npm (Node Package Manager)

Getting Started

To use this template, follow these steps:

Clone or download the repository to your local machine.
Set the remote URL to your own repository like this:
```
git remote set-url origin <your-repository-url>
```
Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.
Install the project dependencies by running the following command:
```
npm install
```
Start the development server with the following command:
```
npm run dev
```
Begin developing your Svelte application by modifying the files in the src directory.

Building for production, and deploying to GitHub Pages

To build your application for production, and deploy it to GitHub Pages, follow these steps:

Run the following command to create an optimized build of your application in the dist directory, and create (or update) a "gh-pages" branch containing all the dist files. This will also automatically enable GitHub Pages for your site, and set the location to the "gh-pages" branch so you don't have to worry about that.
```
npm run deploy
```
You will have a vite.config.js file that looks something like this: ```javascript import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/ export default defineConfig({ base: "/svelte-github-pages-template/", // name of your github site plugins: [svelte()] })

It is very important that you switch out "svelte-github-pages-template", with ***YOUR*** repository name (do not delete the "//", it has to be there)

# Customization
Feel free to modify this template to suit your specific needs. You can add additional packages, configure routing, customize the build process, or extend the functionality as required.
