Built with Codex CLI? Deploy it to GitHub Pages.
Step-by-step deployment help for Codex CLI-built apps on GitHub Pages. We fix deployment issues, configure GitHub Pages correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Codex CLI issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Codex CLI's code generation that affect GitHub Pages deployments.
API keys and secrets written directly into generated source files
Codex CLI generates code with placeholder credentials that developers often replace with real values inline, leaving secrets committed to version control. There is no .env scaffolding or secret management setup by default.
No authentication or authorization on generated API endpoints
When Codex generates Express or FastAPI backends, routes are created without middleware for authentication, meaning every endpoint is publicly accessible immediately after deployment.
Single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure
Codex frequently outputs all logic into one or two files rather than organizing code into modules, services, and utilities — making the result hard to maintain and extend as the codebase grows.
Generated code lacks awareness of existing project context
Because Codex operates from a prompt without full codebase indexing, it generates code that duplicates existing utilities, ignores established conventions, and introduces conflicting patterns alongside your real code.
GitHub Pages deployment issues we check for
Common GitHub Pages problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
Client-side routing returns 404 on refresh
React Router and other SPA routers break on page refresh because GitHub Pages doesn't support URL rewrites. Only the root index.html is served for the base path.
API routes have no server to run on
AI-generated Next.js or Express backends can't run on GitHub Pages. There's no server-side execution — only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are served.
Base path not configured for project sites
Project sites deploy to username.github.io/repo-name, but AI tools build with root (/) as the base path, breaking all asset and route references.
Custom domain DNS propagation issues
CNAME file missing from the build output or DNS records misconfigured, causing the custom domain to point nowhere or show GitHub's 404 page.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Codex CLI-built app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We regularly deploy Codex CLI-generated projects to GitHub Pages. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on GitHub Pages.
What GitHub Pages issues do Codex CLI projects typically have?
Codex CLI projects commonly have api keys and secrets written directly into generated source files and no authentication or authorization on generated api endpoints. When deploying to GitHub Pages, these combine with platform-specific issues like client-side routing returns 404 on refresh and api routes have no server to run on.
How do I get my Codex CLI project live on GitHub Pages?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Codex CLI-built projects targeting GitHub Pages, the typical path is: fix Codex CLI-specific code issues, configure GitHub Pages settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Codex CLI app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Codex CLI codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring GitHub Pages correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
