How to Deploy Your Unity WebGL Build to GitHub Pages

Hey all!

Sorry for this rather long absence! Someday (soon, I hope!) I’ll write about what I’ve been doing all these months. In the meantime, I’m going to spread some good karma by telling you how to deploy your Unity WebGL project to Github Pages. 

1.) Push the index.html, Template Data folder, and Release folder portions of your project to a GitHub repo. If you don’t know how to create a repo, instructions are here.

2.) Create a GitHub pages branch by typing “git checkout -b gh-pages” into the terminal (don’t use quotes!)

3.) Push your project to this new branch by typing “git push origin gh-pages” (again, without quotes)

4.) Your new project should be available at the link: http://yourusername.github.io/nameofproject

Master and Gh-Pages branches: keep your code and website in the same repo on GitHub

Code and website in one repository: 2015 did not give us “Back to the Future” hoverboards, but it gave us the ability to put our websites next to our code on GitHub. However, doing it so is still easier said than done. In theory, this should be a one-click operation. But in practice, you need to be a little patient, understand a few git concepts and type in a small book on the command-line. And of course, you can skip all this and fork the template I created in this post which lives at gh-pages-orphan-branch-template

Creating a repo for your code

As of June 2015, you still cannot do this on the command line for GitHub. You can do it on the website or if you are over zealous, you can use the API with a RESTful client. For now, let’s say you like the simpler approach and do it on the website. First login to your account, and then click on this link and create your repository:
