By default, the preview server runs on port 8080. To change this default, you can assign a different number to the PORT environment variable: $ PORT=8888 gulp serve To build the presentation without starting the preview server, use: $ gulp In both cases, the files are built into the [.path]_dist_ directory. You can view the slides outside of the local preview server by navigating to [.path]_dist/index.html_ in your browser. == Publish to GitHub Pages The Gulp build includes a task to publish your presentation to GitHub Pages. First, make sure you have initialized the project as a git repository and linked it to a GitHub project. The task assumes that the git remote named `origin` points to the repository on GitHub. Now you can build the presentation and publish it to GitHub Pages using: $ gulp publish The files in the [.path]_dist_ directory end up in the `gh-pages` branch in the repository on GitHub. From there, they can be viewed in a browser from anywhere on the web.
