Okay, y'all are saying a whole lot that's seeming alien but here goes nothing, just in case my hunch is right.

Github, Netlify.

Case study: cirphrank.com


Processes:

  1. CREATION>
    XAMP's active, VSCode open. I create my app on VSCode, check on the go till I'm satisfied via chrome, localhost powered by XAMP.

  2. DEPLOYMENT>
    To cut costs, save for clients' and main business' projects, I use Netlify now (so long site's supposed to be static), used to use blogger but that had extreme limitations(optimum for blogs though).

I use Github for Desktop to upload my app to a private repository on my Github account, then I proceed to deploy via Github on Netlify.

-----At this point, I have cirphrank.netlify.com but to go custom I sync DNS and CNAMES for free SSL coverage...

  1. WHY> Why deployment through Github and not Direct Netlify deployment? well for the case of continuous deployment, I still don't get how .TOML is making that possible, and if I want to do that on Direct Netlify Deployment, it will mean that I have to delete site and redeploy from scratch anytime I sight an error, be it just a typo, that I can tackle with the Github private repository by committing new build on the go, and without a second's break, it reflects on the site straight away.

Too much talk already and I'm not even sure if it's under the right topic. Çiao
