Deploy to Github Pages

You can deploy to github pages with a couple minor changes to Polymer Starter Kit:

1. Uncomment this line // app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/'; in app.js near the top

  // Sets app default base URL
  app.baseUrl = '/';
  if (window.location.port === '') {  // if production
    // Uncomment app.baseURL below and
    // set app.baseURL to '/your-pathname/' if running from folder in production
    // app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/';
  }

1. Change app.baseUrl = '/polymer-starter-kit/'; to app.baseUrl = '/your-pathname/'; (ex: if you repo is github.com/username/bobs-awesome-site you would change this to bobs-awesome-site)
2. Run gulp build-deploy-gh-pages from command line
3. To see changes wait 1-2 minutes then load Github pages for your app (ex: http://polymerelements.github.io/polymer-starter-kit)

Notes

• When deploying to Github Pages we recommend using hashbangs which is Polymer Starter Kit default.
• This method should work for most hosting providers when using a subfolder.
