Publish your HTML5 game on the web with Cerewro

Once your HTML5 game is ready, the next step is publishing it so others can play. Here are the fastest and cheapest options, from GitHub Pages (free) to itch.io to reach the gaming community.

GitHub Pages (free, ideal for personal projects)

Upload the HTML5 game from C:\projects\my-game to GitHub and enable GitHub Pages to publish it online

cd C:\projects\my-game
git init && git add . && git commit -m "feat: complete Snake HTML5 game"
gh repo create my-snake-game --public --push --source=.
gh api repos/YOUR_USER/my-snake-game/pages -X POST -f source.branch=main -f source.path=/
# URL: https://YOUR_USER.github.io/my-snake-game

Netlify (custom domain, auto deploy)

npm install -g netlify-cli
netlify login
netlify deploy --prod --dir . --site-name my-snake-game
# URL: https://my-snake-game.netlify.app

itch.io (gamer community, monetization)

1. Create a free account at itch.io
2. Go to Dashboard → Upload new project → HTML
3. Upload a ZIP with all game files
4. Set the viewport size (e.g. 800x600)
5. Publish: your game appears in itch.io's search
