If this is your first deployment, enter your email address and password.

Not Found 404.html works.

hugo
surge public

surge.sh sub domain

You can use the ●●.surge.sh subdomain. But robots.txt will always output this.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Therefore, Therefore, ●●.surge.sh will not be displayed in search results such as Google.

Custom Domain

An easy way to use it is to generate a CNAME,
file and put your custom domain here. This is the same as GitHub Pages.

The custom domain will point to na-west1.surge.sh using the CNAME zone.
If it is not a subdomain, you may be able to use ANAME or ALIAS instead.
If this also doesn’t work, point to 45.55.110.124 on the A record.

Surge does not apply SSL when using a custom domain with a free plan.
You can solve this by going through other services:

Token

It can be used for deployment with CI/CD such as GitHub Actions.

First, issue a token on the local PC you are logged in to.

surge token

Include the token in the parameter in the deployment environment.

surge . --token (token)

Deployment domain list

Delete deployed site

surge teardown (domain)

If you accidentally delete it, just surge . again.
