Marp CLI example

The good starter example for using Marp via Marp CLI.

See published slide deck

• GitHub Pages: https://yhatt.github.io/marp-cli-example
• Netlify: https://yhatt-marp-cli-example.netlify.app/
• Vercel: https://marp-cli-example.yhatt.now.sh/

Usage

It's surprisingly easy to start publishing your slide deck through Netlify and Vercel! (GitHub Pages requires a few steps)

GitHub Pages

Fork this repository from "Fork" button in right-top corner to start!

Setup GitHub Actions

We have GitHub Actions workflow to build and deploy from master to gh-pages automatically.

In the moment, deploying from public repository to GitHub Pages requires setting up your access token as secret. (Track discussion in forum...)

1. Go to "Personal Access Tokens" setting page and click "Generate New Token".
2. Create new token with "repo" scope, and copy generated token.
3. Go to "Settings" tab in forked repository, and select "Secrets" from sidebar.
4. Add a new secret "ACCESS_TOKEN" with the value of generated token.
5. Turn on GitHub Actions in forked repository from "Actions" tab.

Marp slide deck generated from PITCHME.md will be published to https://<your-name>.github.io/<repository-name>.

⚠️ Please notice the slide deck hosted with GitHub Pages will be made public even if you forked this to private repository.

Netlify

Push "Deploy to netlify" button. Netlify will create your repository based on this example and host website from master branch automatically.

Vercel (formerly ZEIT Now)

Push "Deploy" button. Vercel can choose to create your repository into GitHub / GitLab / BitBucket based on this example, or just to try publishing slide deck in your without fork.

ℹ️ The auto-generated open graph image is not available in deployment through Vercel.
