Step 2: Initialize your project

To connect your local project files to your Firebase project, run the following command from the root of your local project directory:

firebase init hosting

During project initialization, from the Firebase CLI prompts:

1. Select a Firebase project to connect to your local project directory.

The selected Firebase project is your "default" Firebase project for your local project directory. To connect additional Firebase projects to your local project directory, set up project aliases (opens new window).

2. Specify a directory to use as your public root directory.

This directory contains all your publicly served static files, including your index.html file and any other assets that you want to deploy to Firebase Hosting.

• The default for the public root directory is called public.
• You can specify your public root directory now or you can specify it later in your firebase.json configuration file.
• If you select the default and don't already have a directory called public, Firebase creates it for you.
• If you don't already have a valid index.html file or 404.html file in your public root directory, Firebase creates them for you.

3. Choose a configuration for your site.

If you select to make a one-page app, then Firebase automatically adds rewrite configurations (opens new window) for you.

At the end of initialization, Firebase automatically creates and adds two files to the root of your local app directory:

• A firebase.json configuration file that lists your project configuration. Learn more about this file on the configure hosting behavior (opens new window) page.
• A .firebaserc file that stores your project aliases.

Here is a capture of the execution:

auth git:(master) ✗ firebase init

     ######## #### ########  ######## ########     ###     ######  ########
     ##        ##  ##     ## ##       ##     ##  ##   ##  ##       ##
     ######    ##  ########  ######   ########  #########  ######  ######
     ##        ##  ##    ##  ##       ##     ## ##     ##       ## ##
     ##       #### ##     ## ######## ########  ##     ##  ######  ########
