Development

• $ yarn to install dependencies
• $ yarn run dev to start the parcel development server.

Production

• $ yarn run build to build production code from source.
• $ yarn run deploy runs the following scripts:
  • clean removes the dist/ directory to trash
  • build builds production code from source using scripts/build.js.
  • push-dir (node module script) pushes the dist/ folder to the gh-pages branch

Why not use parcel's CLI?

as described in scripts/build.js

/**
 * Why use a custom builder script instead of just using the CLI
 * you may ask? Well, turns out that if you want to keep using a
 * custom domain on github pages, you sorta need to have CNAME file
 * included in your gh-pages branch instead of just setting the
 * custom domain from github repo's settings. Each consequent push
 * to the gh-pages branch removes whatever you inputted as your
 * custom domain from the settings page. Bundling the source to
 * a production ready code and _then_ creating the CNAME file is
 * a quick and dirty workaround this.
 */

In a nutshell, I'm still using parcel, but just programmatically. It makes it easier to do whatever tasks I need to do after bunding a production code (In this case, creating a CNAME file for github pages).
