When you build the project, Create React App will place the `public` folder contents into the build output.

## [Now](https://zeit.co/now)
## [ZEIT Now](https://zeit.co)

[Now](https://zeit.co/docs) offers a simple, single-command deployment. You can use `now` to deploy your app for free.
[ZEIT Now](https://zeit.co) is a cloud platform for websites and serverless APIs, that you can use to deploy your Create React App projects to your personal domain (or a free `.now.sh` suffixed URL).

The first step is to install Now. You can do this by installing [the Now Desktop app](https://zeit.co/download), which also installs Now CLI and keeps it up-to-date, or by [installing Now CLI](https://zeit.co/download#now-cli) directly with npm:
This guide will show you how to get started in a few quick steps:

### Step 1: Installing Now CLI

To install their command-line interface with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/now), run the following command:

```shell
npm i -g now
```

To deploy your built project directly with Now CLI in your terminal, without any configuration:
### Step 2: Deploying

You can deploy your application by running the following command in the root of the project directory:

1. Build your app by running `npm run build`.
```shell
now
```

2. Move into the build directory by running `cd build`.
**Alternatively**, you can also use their integration for [GitHub](https://zeit.co/github) or [GitLab](https://zeit.co/gitlab).

3. Run `now --name your-project-name` from within the build directory. You will be given a **now.sh** URL as a response as your build is deployed, similar to the following: https://my-cra-project-4rx7b16z3.now.sh/
That’s all!

Click or paste the deployment URL into your browser when the build is complete and you will see your deployed app.
Your site will now deploy, and you will receive a link similar to the following: https://react.now-examples.now.sh

For more information on deploying React applications with Now, including automatically building your application fresh in the cloud, setting up routes to rewrite all paths to the index.html file, and setting up caching headers for speed, see [the ZEIT Guide for Deploying a React app with Create React App](https://zeit.co/guides/deploying-react-with-now-cra/).
Out of the box, you are preconfigured for client-side routing compatibility and appropriate default caching headers. This behaviour can be overwritten [like this](https://zeit.co/docs/v2/advanced/routes/).
