How to host carew on github ?

Github can host static pages. It's very easy thanks to carew.

Start by creating a new project with composer:

$ mkdir my_site
$ cd my_site
$ git init
$ php composer.phar create-project carew/boilerplate _carew

To make it easier to build your website, you can setup a build.sh script in _carew folder:

#!/bin/bash

BASE=`dirname $0`
$BASE/vendor/bin/carew carew:build --base-dir=$BASE --web-dir=$BASE/..

Then you can build the website with _carew/build.sh command. Now, you can commit and push everything to your github repository:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Inital commit"
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:YOUR_NAME/YOUR_NAME.github.io.git
$ git push -u origin master

Now, you can browse http://YOUR_NAME.github.io
