Firebase Hosting Basics

Handles Firebase Hosting deployment for static sites and SPAs. Walks you through firebase.json configuration for redirects, rewrites, and headers, plus deployment commands and preview channels. The skill clearly distinguishes between classic Hosting and the newer App Hosting, which trips up a lot of people. It covers local emulation setup and gives you the exact CLI commands for testing and deployment. Good for straightforward static deployments where you want control over the build process, but skip it if you need SSR or full-stack framework features.
