Firebase web hosting is a great way to launch your Flutter web apps. I have building mobile applications using Dart with Flutter and web app using Java, PHP, React and C#.

However, I do enjoy learning a ton of what can be done as quick and dirty as possible to build prototypes of an idea.

That much is great. So i decided to build my next enterprise web application using Flutter. And these were the first challenges are encountered.

Alright so I’m setting up a Marketing Representative Management System on Firebase for a web app that I made. A system tool for my colleagues job that would make things a bit easier for them.

After creating the project on firebase cloud and started the project initialization on CLI,

I perform firebase init > Login > Select project > configure hosting options > Setup automatic builds and deploys with Github?

this pops up, and like wow..... super cool. so i said YES!!!!!

And it popped up For which Github repository would you like to setup a Github workflow? (username/repositoryName)

That’s where I got stuck there was no instruction no (ex. blah blah blah). Which is in a lot of there questions they show an example for those new to the process. I did a quick google search and couldn’t find an easy quick solution. I tried random stuff.

First I tried the github repository URL. That didn’t work. Then I tried just typing in the repository name. That didn’t work. Lastly, I thought oh it shows my username/repositoryName cool let me try that. Boom it works.

So based on that i decided to write a complete guide on how go about the whole questions and set up

For which Github repository would you like to setup a Github workflow? (username/repositoryName) - means supply username/the repository name of the project

Setup the workflow to run a build script before every deploy? (Yes\No) - Means do you want to have a script run before any deployment is made

It simply means that before deploying, should a specific script be run? For example, you may need to run a command to build some sources. In Flutter, you would need to build before deploying, so the command to enter would be:

project Directory/flutter build web

What is the name of the Github branch associated with your site’s live channel? (master) - Select your channel to be used to deploy to the Firebase

Thanks for your time
