h5bp/html5boilerplate.com — Issue #74: Host on github
Author: nimbupani

State: open

-at http://h5bp.github.com

- All commits to master will display on that url.

- if provided with CNAME file, github will redirect all requests to h5bp.github.com to the domain name specified in CNAME

PROS
===

- All admins for html5boilerplate.com can commit when necessary

- We have only static files, we can use the node build script to generate the home page like we do for the docs

- No need to depend on third-party hosts for our server needs.

CONS
===

- Cant have `.htaccess` file.

- Cannot be using anything server-side (we don't now, but cannot in the future_

- At the mercy of github hosting.

In my experience of hosting with github (which has been at most of 1 whole month) I find it more stable than third party hosts. Plus we would be able to collaboratively work on this site.

HOW
===

Add a remote push url to h5bp.github.com repo under @h5bp

Use `git push publish master` or something similar in `.gitconfig`
