Getting started

Introduction

Welcome to the div documentation

Welcome to <div>the fastest way to put a website on the internet.

cd mysite
div deploy
✓ Deployed! Project live at mysite.div.so

You write HTML in a folder, run one command, and your site is live at a real URL. No build step, no config, no CI pipeline to set up.

#Why <div>?

Putting a page on the internet should take seconds, not hours. Most tools make you link a GitHub account, push to a repo, connect a host, and sit through a build pipeline before a single page appears.

<div> skips all of that. You write HTML, run div deploy, and the site is on the internet. It works well for a lot of things:

  • You're prototyping a landing page or a quick experiment.
  • You want a real URL to send to a friend without having to provision a server.
  • You're sending a quick proposal to a client. (HTML converts better than a figma file)
  • You're hacking on a weekend project and want to launch something fast.
  • You're documenting a side project and you want the docs to be a website, not a README.
  • You're teaching someone HTML and want them to see their work on the real internet, not a localhost URL.
  • You like writing HTML. (We won't tell anyone)

#Next Steps

You'll need Node.js installed. After that, you're a few commands away from a live site.
