# 🚀 Get Your APT Repository Live in 5 Minutes
## You're Here Because...
You want to publish socktop packages via APT, but GitHub Pages won't let you select `apt-repo/` folder. Here's why and how to fix it:
**The Issue:** GitHub Pages only serves from `/` (root) or `/docs`, not custom folders like `/apt-repo`.
**The Solution:** Use a `gh-pages` branch where `apt-repo` contents go in the root.
## Quick Setup (5 Steps)
### 1. Create apt-repo locally (if you haven't)
```bash
./scripts/setup-apt-repo.sh
```
This creates `apt-repo/` with your packages and signs them.
### 2. Create gh-pages branch
```bash
git checkout --orphan gh-pages
git rm -rf .
```
### 3. Copy apt-repo to root
```bash
cp -r apt-repo/* .
rm -rf apt-repo
ls
# You should see: dists/ pool/ KEY.gpg index.html README.md
```
### 4. Push to GitHub
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Initialize APT repository"
git push -u origin gh-pages
git checkout main
```
### 5. Enable GitHub Pages
1. Go to: **Settings → Pages**
2. Source: **gh-pages****/ (root)**
3. Click **Save**
**Done!** ✅ Your repo will be live at `https://your-username.github.io/socktop/` in 1-2 minutes.
## Test It
```bash
curl -I https://your-username.github.io/socktop/KEY.gpg
# Should return: HTTP/2 200
```
## Install It (On Any Debian/Ubuntu System)
```bash
curl -fsSL https://your-username.github.io/socktop/KEY.gpg | \
sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/socktop-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/socktop-archive-keyring.gpg] https://your-username.github.io/socktop stable main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/socktop.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install socktop socktop-agent
```
## What's Next?
### Now (Optional):
- Customize `index.html` on gh-pages for a nice landing page
- Add installation instructions to your main README
### Later:
- Set up GitHub Actions automation (see `QUICK_START_APT_REPO.md`)
- Add more architectures (ARM64, ARMv7)
## Understanding the Setup
```
main branch: gh-pages branch:
├── src/ ├── dists/
├── Cargo.toml ├── pool/
├── scripts/ ├── KEY.gpg
└── apt-repo/ (local) └── index.html ← GitHub Pages serves this
Work here ↑ Published here ↑
```
- **main**: Your development work
- **gh-pages**: What users see/download
- **apt-repo/**: Local folder (ignored in git, see `.gitignore`)
