🚀 GitHub Pages Deployment Guide

✅ Complete Setup for GitHub Pages

Your app is configured for GitHub Pages deployment with all meta tags and essential upgrades.

📋 Pre-Deployment Steps

Step 1: Update Repository Name in Meta Tags

Before deploying, update the repository name in index.html:

  1. Open index.html
  2. Replace yourusername with your GitHub username
  3. Replace mobile-car-wash-manager with your repository name (if different)
  4. Update all URLs in meta tags

Find and replace:

  • https://yourusername.github.io/mobile-car-wash-manager/
  • With: https://YOUR_USERNAME.github.io/YOUR_REPO_NAME/

Step 2: Enable GitHub Pages

  1. Go to your repository on GitHub
  2. Click Settings → Pages
  3. Under Source, select:
    • Branch: gh-pages (or main/master)
    • Folder: / (root) or /dist (depending on setup)
  4. Click Save

Step 3: Push to GitHub

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit - Mobile Car Wash Manager"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME.git
