Netlify makes deploying feel like magic: push code, get a live site.
Direct answer
You can deploy to Netlify by dragging a folder of site files into its dashboard, or by connecting a Git repository so every push triggers a new deploy. Set the build command and publish directory if your site needs a build step.
Two ways to deploy
Drag and drop: sign in, choose Add new site, then drag your site's folder (with index.html) into the page.
From Git:
- Push your project to GitHub.
- Choose Import from Git.
- Select the repository.
- Set the build command and publish directory, such as
npm run buildanddist. - Deploy.
Handy features
- Automatic HTTPS.
- Deploy previews for branches.
- Form handling for simple contact forms.
- Custom domains.
