+## Steps to use scripts
+
+### Single dataset with no portal commit
+This script creates and commit only the build files from nextjs to the gh-pages branch. 
+**Step 1:** Export an env variable with the name of your dataset github repo.
+For example if deploying https://github.com/datasets/finance-vix, then export the name as:
+```bash
+export PORTAL_REPO_NAME=finance-vix
+```
+**Step 2:** Create a file called `portal.sh` and paste the following content:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+git checkout -b gh-pages
+git rm -r --cached . 
+rm -rf portal
+mkdir -p portal
+npx create-next-app portal -e https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/examples/dataset-frictionless 
+mkdir portal/public/dataset
+
+cp -a ./data portal/public/dataset
+cp -a ./datapackage.json portal/public/dataset
+cp -a ./README.md portal/public/dataset
+
+PORTAL_DATASET_PATH=$PWD"/portal/public/dataset"
+export PORTAL_DATASET_PATH
+
+cd portal
+assetPrefix='"/'$PORTAL_REPO_NAME'/"'
+basePath='"/'$PORTAL_REPO_NAME'"'
+echo 'module.exports = {assetPrefix:' ${assetPrefix}', basePath: '${basePath}' }' > next.config.js ## This ensures css and public folder works
+yarn export
+
+cd ..
+cp -R -a portal/out/ ./
+touch .nojekyll
+git add $PWD'/_next' $PWD'/index.html' $PWD'/dataset' $PWD'/404.html' $PWD'/.nojekyll' $PWD'/favicon.ico'
+git commit -m "Build new dataset page"
+git push origin gh-pages
+```
+**Step 3:** Run the bash script with:
+```bash
+source portal.sh
+```
+> Note: Use `source` instead of `bash` so that the script can work well with environment variables. 
+
+**Step 3:**
+Go to your repository's github `pages` in setting and set the Branch to gh-pages and folder to root:
+<img src='./assets/sdnocommit.png' />
+
+**Step 4:**
+Open your deployed site
