If you're already authenticated, you can directly pass in the directory with the surge command

code

# deploy a directory
surge /public

code

# deploy folder while passing the domain name as parameter
surge public/ --domain myfooo.surge.sh

save your domain name to a CNAME file

You can pass the domain name as a CLI parameter

code

surge --domain myfooo.surge.sh

Or you can save it as a CNAME file

code

echo myfooo.surge.sh > CNAME

When developing with Gastby, the CNAME file needs to be in the root directory or in the static folder so that it gets copied to your public folder upon build.

using a custom domain

Point your domain to na-west1.surge.sh or 45.55.110.124

code

# with a CNAME record (@, www)
na-west1.surge.sh

code

# with an A/AAA record (*)
45.55.110.124

code

# deploy to your custom domain
surge path-to-project/ mydomain.com

# save custom domain name to avoid entering it every time
echo mydomain.com > CNAME
