Deploy on Netlify

Netlify is a popular platform for Continuous Deployment. You connect your GitHub repository, and Netlify builds your site every time you push a commit.

Since Kiln is a standalone binary (and not a standard Node.js package), we need to tell Netlify how to download and run it.

Step 1: Add a Build Script

Add a file named build.sh to the root of your repository. This script downloads Kiln and runs the generator.

#!/bin/bash

# 1. Download Kiln (Replace URL with your actual Linux binary release URL)
curl -L -o kiln [https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/kiln/releases/latest/download/kiln_linux_amd64](https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/kiln/releases/latest/download/kiln_linux_amd64)

# 2. Make it executable
chmod +x kiln

# 3. Generate the site
# Remember to set the --url to your Netlify subdomain (e.g., [https://my-site.netlify.app](https://my-site.netlify.app))
./kiln generate --url $URL

Note: Netlify automatically provides the $URL environment variable during build, so the script above grabs the correct URL automatically!

Step 2: Configure Netlify

1. Log in to Netlify and click "Add new site" -> "Import an existing project".
2. Select your GitHub repository.
3. In the Build settings screen, configure the following:

4. Click Deploy site.
