How to set up a static site in Netlify?

To set up a static site on Netlify:

• Go to the Netlify dashboard and click 'Add new site' → 'Import from Git.'
• Connect your Git provider (e.g., GitHub) and select your repository and branch.
• Set up the build settings.
• Click Deploy Site. Netlify will build and deploy your site automatically and provide a temporary .netlify.app URL.
• Add a custom domain via the Domain Settings tab. Update your DNS records (CNAME or A record) with your domain registrar.
• Enable free HTTPS with Netlify’s built-in SSL from Let’s Encrypt.
• Monitor deployment history in the Deploys tab.
• Install and use the Netlify CLI (npm install -g netlify-cli) to test builds locally, run functions, or deploy from your terminal.
• Netlify automatically uses a global CDN for fast delivery. For better performance, use _headers and _redirects files as needed
