I have watched a demo video how to use one-click Strapi deployment to set up a Strapi API. I follow all the steps in the video and I get no messages until I get the message: "you appear to have cloned an empty repository". This also happens in the video, but the tutor has an empty .git folder in the project folder. He says it is important that this is there but for me there is no .git folder. I am very confused since I do the exact same steps. Anyone had this issue? I can run the Strapi API locally on my machine, but I want to create a page with Netlify that fetches data from the said API and display it on the web for my portfolio. I am right that if I do this locally and not via Heroku I can't display products etc. for a final website?

I need to install a custom app in a subfolder of my site, and make that publicly accessible. Like mysite.com/results, where inside the results folder will be a custom JS app responsible for displaying results of some running / cycling events.
Update
By custom JS app I mean a bunch of files that comes from the race timing software I use, so I have no control of the files there, just need to be able to make them accessible.
If I create an index.html in that folder, it works, but if I create an index.php it does not work.
I use Valet on my dev machine and my website is being deployed with Ploi deploy.
I just purchased a fresh Nova license and finished up with the installation. It's going all as expected besides some files/folders which I am unable to publish such as routes or views. There is a file(login.blade.php) stored inside the /nova directory which I want to modify the html/css but I am unable since the nova folder is stored inside the .gitignore. Also I want the routes as well to be published but no matter how much I searched there seems to be no answer. All help is appreciated
When I add images it is stored inside google cloud platform VM correctly.
But I am not able to fetch newly added images in my website.
If I redeploy project with newly added images in assets folder it is showing correctly.
I have verified there is no mistake on frontend or backend side.
Is it not possible to get live image update with VM?
Edit:
I have used Vue.js.
I am storing images inside src/assets folder.
When I save images in my website it is saved at src/assets folder.
I think it can only access things in dist folder after build.
Can you suggest where should I save my file?
I'm making an educateg guess it's some cache issue.
Instead of putting your image files inside the VM you can try storing them in a bucket that's accessible to public. The downside is that it can serve only static files (no PHP or anything).
You have to configure your load balancer to forward all your.domain.com/images/ requests to the bucket but that's actually quite easy. Have a look at my answer asking for such configuration.
I'm making a pretty simple website and I have a feature that allows users to upload an image for their profile which is then saved in an uploads directory.
It seems to work fine, however when I push a new local version of the site out I lose all the uploaded files. I'm not exactly sure where Heroku stores them, is there a way I can push those to GitHub or another solution?
It seems like you want data from heroku app to your repository, if i understood your question correctly. Then try this:
https://blog.heroku.com/push_and_pull_databases_to_and_from_heroku
Heroku's filesystem is ephemeral. If you want to store user uploaded content, you need to use something like S3 to store the files.
Github now has automatic page generation for projects. Thats brill - it reads in the readme.markdown file in the project root and creates a neat site using a template.
The thing missing though is user.github.com pages. Is there anyway to (either automatically or by passing a config file) read in all of my current GitHub projects readme documents and push into a site design for a user.github.com template system??
Thanks!
The 'user.github.com' sites are built via GitHub Pages. They are independent repositories, the name of which matches the domain where they will appear. For example, my github username is 'alanwsmith'. I've got a repo called 'alanwsmith.github.com' which is processed via jekyll and available at: http://alanwsmith.github.com/.
Since they are independent and valid repositories, the GitHub doesn't apply any automation to them. The processing via jekyll only outputs the site. It doesn't mess with the contents of the repo itself. If you want to automatically list all your project Readme files on your user.github.com domain, you'll have to build your own process to gather the files and drop them in the source repo.
Of course, your individual user page (e.g. https://github.com/alanwsmith instead of http://alanwsmith.github.com/) lists your repos. Those links point to the individual project pages which, as you mention, display the readme files. I think that's as close as GitHub gets to doing what you want at this point in time.
More details on GitHub Pages can be found in the GitHub Pages Help section.
