Remind me - how can I actually get a website online?!

• Make a folder and put an index.html in there if you don't already have one
• Put a server.js in there as well with this in it:

import { serveDir } from  'jsr:@std/http/file-server'
Deno.serve(serveDir)

• if you would prefer to only expose a subfolder of your repo to the web (eg called ./web), use this instead:

import { serveDir } from  'jsr:@std/http/file-server'
Deno.serve(req => serveDir(req, { fsRoot: './web' }))

• go to github.com/cambridge-maths-school and make a new repo
• give it a name that starts 2024-
• leave other options as they are
• when created, go back into your folder on the CLI
  • git init
  • git add .
  • git commit -am 'whatever'
  • git branch -M main
  • git remote add origin -url-to-YOUR-repo-here-
  • git push -u origin main
• go to https://dash.deno.com/ and log in
  • 'New project'
  • navigate to the repo you just made
  • under 'project name' give it something appropriate
  • skip to the bottom leaving everything else unchanged
  • under 'entrypoint' change it to 'server.js'
  • 'deploy project' and it should be online in seconds
• when making changes locally, be sure to git commit and push and it'll be live in seconds
