host website on github pages

[milahu]

hey phpnode / codemix - thanks for fork and rollback : )

could we host the website on github pages?
https://pegjs.org/online looks like a static html-javascript page, so gh-pages should work

.. either by creating a branch gh-pages, or a separate repository, like pegjs-pages

hope the license says yeah

[phpnode]

sounds good to me, @mdamien has a fork of the editor with nice inline errors, pegjs/pegjs#658 we should try and incorporate that if possible. I haven't checked the licensing situation for the site yet tho.

[milahu]

just found the build scripts in https://github.com/pegjs/pegjs/tree/master/website
so they have the same license = MIT

Status: I've checked all the files into /docs, turned on Pages hosting for that, and am in the process of getting DNS fixed up for peggyjs.org, which will take a day or two for all of the DNS propagation.

Note that there's still work to do to disentangle the webpack bits; the code that some parts of the site are using is still peg.js branded.

Fixed, see https://peggyjs.org/ which serves up https://github.com/peggyjs/peggy/tree/main/docs

whoops, I had it on www.peggyjs.org, but I'm fixing that up. Leaving this open until everything settles back down.

Looks like that's holding now. www.peggyjs.org 301's to peggyjs.org. Details for anyone who finds this later:

From dreamhost:

www CNAME peggyjs.github.io
@ ALIAS peggyjs.github.io
@ NS ns1.dreamhost.com.
@ NS ns2.dreamhost.com.
@ NS ns3.dreamhost.com.

GitHub pages set to serve '/docs' from the main branch, and then https://github.com/peggyjs/peggy/blob/main/docs/CNAME contains:

peggyjs.org

Note that GitHub Pages will allow /docs/foo.html to be requested as https://peggyjs.org/foo, with no .html extension, which is good, because there are likely still some links in the page without an extension.
