2. Which Firebase CLI features do you want to set up for this folder? Press Space to select features, then Enter to confirm your choices. : Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites

=== Project Setup

3. Select a default Firebase project for this directory: Your firebase Project name

=== Hosting Setup

4. What do you want to use as your public directory? dist
5. Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? No
6. File dist/404.html already exists. Overwrite? No
7. File dist/index.html already exists. Overwrite? No

-----Firebase initialization complete!-----

Now Re-run your app using: ng build (Imp step)

----Deploy----

firebase deploy

Answer 2

The repo I cloned didn't place an index.html file in the /dist directory. The welcome screen is the default index.html that firebase creates.
