Summary  
This chapter explains how to use Git for version control and connect a remote repository to a continuous deployment platform for automated code deployment.

General domain of usage  
Web application deployment

We need a **GitHub** and **Vercel** account to make the deployment process straightforward and clear.

## Github
1. To start, create the GitHub account using the following link: <a href="https://github.com/signup" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://github.com/signup</a>;
2. After that, push your project, developed locally, to GitHub. If you are new to setting up your repository, please refer to the GitHub guide: <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/quickstart-for-repositories" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >Quickstart for repositories</a>.


## Vercel
Sign up for a free Vercel "hobby" plan at <a href="https://vercel.com/signup" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://vercel.com/signup</a>. Link your GitHub account by choosing Continue with GitHub.

Learn to build modern, high-performance web applications using Next.js. Set up projects with structured layouts, styling, and routing for seamless navigation. Fetch and display data efficiently while optimizing rendering and performance. Implement advanced features like pagination, CRUD operations, and global search for dynamic web apps. Deploy your Next.js projects and connect them with databases, and add authentication to protect user data.

Let's discuss what you need to learn before diving into the Next.js framework, what to expect from this course, and what you'll build.

We will set up the project, inspect ways to add styling to our app and cover visual aspects such as images, fonts, pages, and layouts.

Learn how to easily create and manage a new view for your app and navigate through all pages seamlessly with an incorporated routing system.

Deploy the Next.js app using GitHub and Vercel accounts. Additionally, establish a database to supply the app with the necessary data.

Consider how to obtain and show data to the user clearly and efficiently.

Discover how to implement modern web features such as pagination, CRUD operations, global search, form validation, and more.
