Build for production #

zorto build

This generates your site in public/. Upload that directory to any static hosting provider.

Netlify #

Create a netlify.toml in your project root:

[build]
command = "curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh && zorto build"
publish = "public"

Push to GitHub and connect the repo in Netlify’s dashboard. Every push triggers a build.

GitHub Pages #

Add a workflow at .github/workflows/deploy.yml:

name: Deploy
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment:
      name: github-pages
      url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
    permissions:
      pages: write
      id-token: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh && zorto build
      - uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3
        with:
          path: public
      - id: deployment
        uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4

Vercel #

Create a vercel.json:

{
  "buildCommand": "curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh && zorto build",
  "outputDirectory": "public"
}

Cloudflare Pages #

Connect your Git repository in the Cloudflare Pages dashboard and configure:

  • Build command: curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh && zorto build
  • Build output directory: public

Every push to your production branch triggers a build. Cloudflare Pages also creates preview deployments for pull requests automatically.

Custom headers #

Create a static/_headers file (Netlify) or configure headers in your platform’s config. Zorto copies everything in static/ to public/ at build time.
