Netlify is a platform that enables developers to deploy web applications easily, with features such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, automatic build and deployment of Angular projects, and a user-friendly web interface for managing sites. To get started, users can connect their Git repositories to Netlify using the web UI or the command line interface (CLI), which is an open-source project. The CLI allows users to automate the deployment process and link projects to their accounts with ease. Once set up, users can deploy their Angular projects using various methods, including pushing code changes, triggering deploys, or dragging and dropping project folders onto the Netlify UI. The platform also offers a configuration file called netlify.toml for customizing build settings and adding redirect logic to ensure routes work correctly.
