Technologies used: ES6, React, Dexie.js (for IndexedDB),HTML/CSS for address book

Click here to run the build of my code in github: https://codeanddraw.github.io/react-gh-pages/

Note: Build of my code is in react-gh-pages branch, source code is in master branch.
*If you want to run it on your local machine then download my master branch, go inside the folder and run the following command on the terminal/cmd:
To begin the development, run npm start. To create a production bundle, use npm run build.

Following are the steps I followed to create an environment for the app on my local machine and host the app on github:

1. Installed the environment for react on my local machine
   
2. Installed node.js, npm, dexie.js, prop-types library, create-react-app
   
3. Created a repository on Github named react-gh-pages
   
4. Created a new react app on computer by this command:
   $ create-react-app react-gh-pages
   
5. Installed gh-pages as a dependency
   $ cd react-gh-pages
   $ npm install gh-pages --save-dev
   Added some properties to package.json
   //... "homepage": "http://codeanddraw.github.io/react-gh-pages"
   Added in scripts: "scripts": { //... "predeploy": "npm run build", "deploy": "gh-pages -d build" }
   
6. Created a git repository in the app folder
   $ git init
   
7. Added github repository as a remote in local github repository
   $ git remote add origin http://codeanddraw.github.io/react-gh-pages
   In case of fatal error use: git remote rm origin
   
8. Generated a build and deployed on github
   $ npm run deploy
   {Tip: To solve error obtained in deployment, I used
   rm -rf node_modules/gh-pages/.cache to empty the cache.
   rm -rf node_modules/gh-pages/.cache fixes it but if you deploy to 2 different branches you will run into this problem again. I searched, and people suggest using this: "predeployLive": "npm run build", "deployLive": "npm run cleanup && gh-pages -d build -b deploy -e build", "cleanup": "rm -rf node_modules/gh-pages/.cache" }
9. Commit code to master branch and push your commit to github
   $ git add .
   $ git commit -m "Create commit"
   $ git push origin master
   
10. To deploy on github run:
    $ git run deploy
