Deployment
When you deploy changes with the deployment script, you are deploying the current state of your local project. This process does not affect any branches on GitHub (origin) directly. Instead, it pushes the built site to the gh-pages branch. Make sure to follow the sync work before deploying to ensure all changes, including the 'small changes' made directly on GitHub on the main branch, are deployed.
The reason why we should use the script to deploy to the gh-pages branch instead of referencing the build directory in the main branch to GitHub pages is because we can leave main as pre-deployment staging.
Sync Work
Make sure you are pulling and pushing and resolving any conflicts before you proceed. You should do this for the main branch, as we will probably push all changes to there.
Build your site
Build your site for production:
cd backbenchers
npm run build
The static files are generated in the build folder.
