How to update a file that I deployed to Firebase Hosting?
firebase, firebase-hosting
Solution
You cannot change hosted files in the Firebase Console.
Instead, you should change the `index.html` on your local copy where you initially ran the `firebase deploy` command. Once you're done with the changes, run `firebase deploy` again to push the updated version of your website to Firebase Hosting.
For small changes it is probably faster to run `firebase serve`. This spins up a local web server, so that you can test the changes. Once you're satisfied they work, publish them to Firebase Hosting with `firebase deploy` again.
Update: this is now possible through some custom scripting. See my answer here for details: Upload single file to firebase hosting via CLI or other without deleting existing ones?
Problem
On deploying my app to Firebase, I am getting this message: You're seeing this because you've successfully setup Firebase Hosting. Now it's time to go build something extraordinary! I learnt from a previous post that I need to replace the default `index.html` with my custom `index.html`. How do I do that using the Firebase Console?
