Need help setting up a remote depository using GitHub and VCS
Do you run a Webserver during development, even if it is a simple dev-server like https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server ?

What is the simplest way to run an index.html file inside a server.js file using node.js
I mean, there are ones, like https://github.com/http-party/http-server you can inspect that code, but basically, it’s a job an nginx can do without any JS.

Looking to host React Static Application on AWS S3 question on dependencies
Does the website work correctly when run locally without a server? If so, then it should be fine to be compiled and deployed. You can always check ahead of time by building your website and then running it with a CLI like http-server to replicate what S3 will do.

Opened my angular project after a week to find it like that? (All the stuff i built doesn't appear anymore). Any Idea why ? (Note: in the extensions the "Angular Language Service" seems to have had an update). Opening from Chrome shows the html but not the rest of the code.
You can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server but you need to build your app before with ng build then serve the generated bundle (be careful to environment file replacement in angular.json)

What is the Go equivalent of Node http-server?
You probably need a few hundred lines of code and some external modules to be able to build what https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server has. ``` Available Options: Command Description Defaults -p or --port Port to use. Use -p 0 to look for an open port, starting at 8080. It will also read from process.env.PORT. 8080 -a Address to use 0.0.0.0 -d Show directory listings true -i Display autoIndex true -g or --gzip When enabled it will serve ./public/some-file.js.gz in place of ./public/some-file.js when a gzipped version of the file exists and the request accepts gzip encoding. If brotli is also enabled, it will try to serve brotli first. false -b or --brotli When enabled it will serve ./public/some-file.js.br in place of ./public/some-file.js when a brotli compressed version of the file exists and the request accepts br encoding. If gzip is also enabled, it will try to serve brotli first. false -e or --ext Default file extension if none supplied html -s or --silent Suppress log messages from output --cors Enable CORS via the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header -o [path] Open browser window after starting the server. Optionally provide a URL path to open. e.g.: -o /other/dir/ -c Set cache time (in seconds) for cache-control max-age header, e.g. -c10 for 10 seconds. To disable caching, use -c-1. 3600 -U or --utc Use UTC time format in log messages. --log-ip Enable logging of the client's IP address false -P or --proxy Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com --proxy-options Pass proxy options using nested dotted objects. e.g.: --proxy-options.secure false --username Username for basic authentication --password Password for basic authentication -S, --tls or --ssl Enable secure request serving with TLS/SSL (HTTPS) false -C or --cert Path to ssl cert file cert.pem -K or --key Path to ssl key file key.pem -r or --robots Automatically provide a /robots.txt (The content of which defaults to User-agent: *\nDisallow: /) false --no-dotfiles Do not show dotfiles --mimetypes Path to a .types file for custom mimetype definition -h or --help Print this list and exit. -v or --version Print the version and exit. Magic Files index.html will be served as the default file to any directory requests. 404.html will be served if a file is not found. This can be used for Single-Page App (SPA) hosting to serve the entry page. Catch-all redirect To implement a catch-all redirect, use the index page itself as the proxy with:
- When they run the http-server command in the codespace, is it an alias in the .bashrc file that executes something along the lines of 'sudo systemctl start apache2' after they configured the apache2 server? Or is there a much simpler aproach that I didn't take into consideration?

Need help with links when deploying local vs. remote
Whenever your server is doing something, your local environment should do it too. That means you can no longer just open an HTML file in your browser but need to run a local server which mirrors all of the same features that your browser has. For example, http-server is a simple command-line server tool which has an option for "default file extension if none supplied".

Newb question: Can I use Sveltekit without a server running nodejs?
It still uses some JavaScript inside the browser. Have you tried just pointing a web server at the build output (e.g. live-server)?

Creating a Gantt chart with vanilla JavaScript
The CSS will be defined in JavaScript files. We will use JavaScript modules to split the code into separate modules that can be imported and exported, so we’ll need a local HTTP server to run the code. We need to do this because JavaScript modules follow the same-origin policy, which means that you cannot import modules from your file system by default. To get a local server with live reload, you can install the npm Live Server package. If you are using VS Code, you can install the Live Server extension.

Instead of resizing my browser to check my website design what to do?
Check live-server out. It auto reloads the page when you save any of the files (html, css, jss) in the folder.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing http-server and Live Server you can also consider the following projects:
json-server - Get a full fake REST API with zero coding in less than 30 seconds (seriously)
bracey.vim - live edit html, css, and javascript in vim
yo - CLI tool for running Yeoman generators
Babel (Formerly 6to5) - 🐠 Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.
mockoon - Mockoon is the easiest and quickest way to run mock APIs locally. No remote deployment, no account required, open source.
browser-run - Run code inside a browser from the command line
npm-home - Open the npm page, Yarn page, or GitHub repo of a package
alex - Catch insensitive, inconsiderate writing
vtop - Wow such top. So stats. More better than regular top.
pageres - Capture website screenshots
