Deploy to github pages

[nbrohee]

Rather than deploying to a cloud vendor website, I tried to deploy to github pages.
Here are my changes to do so with a live version accessible here
I had to remove the publicPath in webpack.config.prod.js as github pages serves the site in a subdomain.

Almost everything works as intended except for the rooting (I think) behaving weirdly.
As you can see here :

• the app lands on the 404 page instead of the default one
• navigation replaces the subdomain instead of appending the route path to it.

I know React-slingshot is meant to be served from the website root but any help would be appreciated.

Could be a similar issue to #214

The 404 page is due to gh-pages not the slingshot. See facebook/create-react-app#162 (comment) for notes on SPA in GitHub pages. This also causes issues with browserHistory from react-router which we have enable by default.

Thanks you for your quick answer !
Your link pointed me in the right direction to spa-github-pages repository.
Everything is explained in his readme usage section.
