Deploy a Gridsome site

Gridsome is a Vue.js powered Jamstack framework for building static generated websites and applications that are fast by default. In this guide, you will create a new Gridsome project and deploy it using Cloudflare Pages. You will use the @gridsome/cli, a command line tool for creating new Gridsome projects.

​​ Install Gridsome

Install the @gridsome/cli by running the following command in your terminal:


$ npm install --global @gridsome/cli

​​ Set up a new project

With Gridsome installed, set up a new project by running gridsome create. The create command accepts a name that defines the directory of the project created and an optional starter kit name. You can review more starters in the Gridsome starters section.


$ npx gridsome create my-gridsome-website

​​ Before you continue

All of the framework guides assume you already have a fundamental understanding of Git. If you are new to Git, refer to this summarized Git handbook on how to set up Git on your local machine.

If you clone with SSH, you must generate SSH keys on each computer you use to push or pull from GitHub.

Refer to the GitHub documentation and Git documentation for more information.

​​ Create a GitHub repository

Create a new GitHub repository by visiting repo.new. After creating a new repository, prepare and push your local application to GitHub by running the following commands in your terminal:


$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-gh-username>/<repository-name>
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git branch -M main
$ git push -u origin main

​​ Deploy with Cloudflare Pages

To deploy your site to Pages:

  1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and select your account.
  2. In Account Home, select Workers & Pages > Create application > Pages > Connect to Git.
  3. Select the new GitHub repository that you created and, in the Set up builds and deployments section, the following information will be provided:
Configuration option Value
Production branch main
Build command npx gridsome build
Build directory dist

After configuring your site, you can begin your first deploy. You should see Cloudflare Pages installing vuepress, your project dependencies, and building your site, before deploying it.

After deploying your site, you will receive a unique subdomain for your project on *.pages.dev. Every time you commit new code to your Gridsome project, Cloudflare Pages will automatically rebuild your project and deploy it. You will also get access to preview deployments on new pull requests, so you can preview how changes to your site look before deploying them to production.
