Deploying the Application

Deploy the App to Github Pages

The deployment process is essentially merging master into a GitHub branch:

1. On your local machine:
   1. Pull master
   2. Switch to gh-pages branch
   3. git merge master
2. All tests run successfully rm -rf node_modules && npm install && npm run update-webdriver && grunt test
3. Application starts successfully npm start
4. Commit and push to origin.
5. Confirm bower_components are not ignored when gh_pages is pushed to GitHub:
   1. The gh-pages require the bower_components/ directory so you'll notice the .gitignore doesn't include this entry, but the master branch does ignore it.
   2. This means before you push a new gh-pages branch, you'll need to do an npm start at least once.
6. View results on github pages.
