Automatically build and deploy a Vue.js app with GitHub Pages

Vue.js, created by Evan You and supported by a large community, is a progressive framework for building user interfaces, focusing on the view layer while supported by libraries for developing larger applications. This post, updated in November 2021, provides a guide for frontend developers on building and deploying Vue applications using GitHub Pages. It outlines the necessary prerequisites, including Node.js, npm, and Vue CLI, and offers step-by-step instructions for setting up a Vue project, initializing a GitHub repository, and deploying the project using a Node.js script with the execa package. The deployment process is automated to create a GitHub Pages branch, build the application, and push the changes. The guide emphasizes the importance of tools like LogRocket for debugging Vue applications by capturing user interactions to enhance the development and monitoring process.
