+## Assumptions
+
+- Have an account with Firebase
+- Have completed the Quick Start or have a completed website ready for deployment
+
+## Initial setup
+1. Go to the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com) and create a new project (unless you already have a project and this is just an additional component to it). 
+2. Install `firebase-tools` (node.js)
+
+```sh
+npm install -g firebase-tools
+```
+
+3. Login to firebase (setup on your local machine) using `firebase login` which opens a browser and you can select your account. Use `firebase logout` in case you are already logged in but to the wrong account.
+
+```sh
+firebase login
+```
+
+3. In the root of your hugo site initialize the Firebase project with `firebase init`
+
+```sh
+firebase init
+```
+
+4. Choose Hosting in the feature question
+5. Choose the project you did just setup
+6. Accept the default for database rules file
+7. Accept the default for the publish directory which is `public`
+8. Choose No in the question if it is a single-page app
+
+## Deploy
+Simply execute `firebase deploy` and your site will be up in no time.
+
+```sh
+hugo && firebase deploy
+```
+
+## CI Setup
+1. Generate a deploy token using 
+
+```sh
+firebase login:ci
+```
+
+2. Setup your CI (e.g. [Wercker](/hosting-and-deployment/deployment-with-wercker))
+3. Add the token to a private variable like `$FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN`
+{{% note %}}
+This is a private secret and it should not appear in a public repository. Make sure you understand you chosen CI and that it's not visible to others.
+{{% /note %}}
+4. Add a step in your build to do the deployment using the token
+
+```sh
+firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN
+```
