Case 1 - Using skeleton esnext application.

Step 1

Built the app with npm install && jspm install && gulp watch and verified that if works fine

Step 2

Ran gulp bundle followed by gulp serve-bundle and verified that if works fine.

Step 3

3.1 Ran gulp export.

3.2 Copied the content of the export folder (see below)

to my local folder

and pushed it to https://github.com/aurelia-tools/deploy

3.3 After some time, I got the message from GitHub

Reported this to GitHub via browser based problem report - now waiting for their explanation of what means Please try again later 😢
