Getting Started

Deployment

Deploying your BuyAstro templates is simple and seamless. Follow these steps to deploy on Vercel or migrate your existing Vercel project to Netlify.

Deploy to Vercel

BuyAstro templates are designed to work smoothly with Vercel, a popular platform for static site deployment.

1. Install Vercel CLI
   First, make sure you have the Vercel CLI installed on your system. If not, run the following command:

npm install -g vercel

2. Deploy your Site
   Once your project is ready, you can deploy it by running:

vercel

3. Connect your Project
   The first time you run vercel, you’ll be asked to link or create a new project. Follow the CLI prompts, and within seconds, your BuyAstro site will be live on a .vercel.app domain.

4. Automatic Updates
   Once connected, every time you push new code to the linked repository (e.g., GitHub), your site will automatically rebuild and redeploy on Vercel.

Migrate from Vercel to Netlify

If you’d like to migrate your existing BuyAstro site from Vercel to Netlify, here’s a quick guide to follow.

1. Sign Up for Netlify
   If you don’t already have a Netlify account, head over to Netlify and create an account.

2. Install Netlify CLI
   You’ll need the Netlify CLI to link and deploy your project. Install it using npm:

npm install -g netlify-cli

3. Login to Netlify
   Authenticate your CLI with Netlify by running:

netlify login

4. Create a New Site
   In your project directory, run the following command to create and link a new site on Netlify:

netlify init

5. Deploy your Project
   To deploy your BuyAstro template on Netlify, use the following command:

netlify deploy --prod

6. DNS Configuration
   If you’re using a custom domain, you can configure your DNS in the Netlify dashboard.

Build Settings for Netlify

For optimal performance on Netlify, here’s the recommended build configuration:

[build]
  command = "npm run build"
  publish = "dist/"

Add this to your netlify.toml file or configure it directly in the Netlify dashboard.

Summary

• Vercel is the default recommendation for BuyAstro templates, offering fast deployment and automatic previews.
• Netlify is a great alternative, providing similar features and an easy migration path from Vercel.
