GitHub Pages Deployment

Enable GitHub Pages to automatically deploy your synced code as a website.

Enabling GitHub Pages​

From GitFig Settings​

  1. Open Make Bridge settings (gear icon)
  2. Find "GitHub Pages" section
  3. Toggle "Enable GitHub Pages"
  4. Select source branch (usually main)
  5. Click Save

What Happens​

GitFig uses the GitHub API to:

  1. Enable Pages on your target repository
  2. Configure deployment from your specified branch
  3. Set the root (/) as the publish directory

Viewing Your Site​

After enabling, your site is available at:

https://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>/

The URL appears in GitFig after Pages is enabled.

Deployment Workflow​

Figma Make → Make Repo → GitFig → Target Repo → GitHub Pages → Live Site

Each sync triggers a new Pages deployment.

Custom Domain​

To use a custom domain:

  1. Add a CNAME file to your target repo
  2. Configure DNS to point to GitHub Pages
  3. Enable HTTPS in repository settings

Disabling Pages​

Toggle off "Enable GitHub Pages" in settings to disable deployment.

Troubleshooting​

Site not updating​

  • Check GitHub Actions for deployment status
  • Pages can take a few minutes to update
  • Clear browser cache

404 errors​

  • Ensure index.html exists in root
  • Check branch and directory settings
