GitHub Pages

[charliepnnl]

We need to serve our single page web app using GitHub Pages. The biggest issue seems to be that GitHub Pages does not directly support a SPA. See https://medium.com/@itspaulolimahimself/deploying-a-react-js-spa-app-to-github-pages-58ddaa2897a3 and https://github.com/rafgraph/spa-github-pages.

Ideally, merging into the main branch will trigger the build and deployment to GitHub Pages.

For May 8:

• It would be acceptable to perform the build locally and just deploy /build to GitHub Pages.
• We may not need to worry about the SPA issue if we assume the user will only navigate to /. In this case, GitHub Pages should correctly serve index.html; from there, all navigation will take place within the web app using React Router. This also assumes we've completed Issue Redirect the root route to /app/qa_hpwh/job_1 #2 . Or maybe that won't work well; for example, if the user refreshes the browser after loading the web app.

Beware: The changes needed to allow our SPA to be served from GitHub Pages may not play nicely with our local development environment.
