Quartz effectively turns your Markdown files and other resources into a bundle of HTML, JS, and CSS files (a website!).

However, if you'd like to publish your site to the world, you need a way to host it online. This guide will detail how to deploy with either GitHub Pages or Cloudflare pages but any service that allows you to deploy static HTML should work as well (e.g. Netlify, Replit, etc.)

Like Quartz 3, you can deploy the site generated by Quartz 4 via GitHub Pages.

title: Setting up your GitHub repository
---

First, make sure you have Quartz [[index#🪴 Get Started|cloned and setup locally]].

Then, create a new repository on GitHub.com. Do **not** initialize the new repository with `README`, license, or `gitignore` files.

![[github-init-repo-options.png]]

At the top of your repository on GitHub.com's Quick Setup page, click the clipboard to copy the remote repository URL.

![[github-quick-setup.png]]

In your terminal of choice, navigate to the root of your Quartz folder. Then, run the following command, replacing `REMOTE-URL` with the URL you just copied from the previous step.

```bash
git remote add origin REMOTE-URL
```

To verify that you set the remote URL correctly, run the following command.

```bash
git remote -v
```

Then, you can sync the content to upload it to your repository.

```bash
npx quartz sync
```
