🚀 CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Step 1: Create Your Repository

Start by creating a new GitHub repository. Add your static website files (index.html, style.css, images, etc.) and push them to GitHub.

Step 2: Set Up an S3 Bucket

On AWS, create an S3 bucket to store your static site. Enable static website hosting and note the bucket name. (Tip: Keep the bucket private and use CloudFront for secure delivery.)

Step 3: Configure GitHub Actions

Inside your repo, create a folder .github/workflows and add a deploy.yml file. Define a workflow that:

• Triggers on every push to main
• Installs AWS CLI
• Syncs your files to the S3 bucket

Step 4: Add AWS Credentials

In GitHub, go to your repo settings → Secrets and Variables. Add your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. This allows GitHub Actions to deploy files securely to AWS.

Step 5: Set Up CloudFront + Route 53

Use AWS CloudFront to distribute your site globally with caching and HTTPS. Connect your custom domain in Route 53 and link it to the CloudFront distribution.

Step 6: Commit & Deploy

Push your code to GitHub. GitHub Actions will automatically build and deploy your static site to S3 + CloudFront. Open your domain, and 🎉 your website is live!
