How To Deploy

First, make sure you have your AWS credentials set up on your machine. There are various ways to do this; for steps on how to set up your AWS credentials, please check the AWS documentation:

Loading Credentials in Node.js from the Shared Credentials File

Once you have your credentials set up, go to the root of your Vue, React, etc. application and run yarn build. Once the build is complete and your build or dist folder is created, just run the following command:

hvc-aws-deploy start -name bucket-name-here

If you want to deploy to a different profile in your AWS configuration you should add the --profile or -p command:

hvc-aws-deploy start --name bucket-name-here --profile other-profile-here

Once the deployment is complete, you should be able to see your website after about 30 seconds -1 minute. A new JSON file should also appear with information regarding your deployed website. (Make sure to add this file to your .gitignore file!)
