How do I connect my GitHub account to Faaaster?
From your profile (your avatar menu, top right → My profile), the GitHub Integration section offers Link GitHub Account. Once it's linked, you can push your code to your sites from your repositories.
Link the account
- Open your profile: avatar menu → My profile.
- GitHub Integration section.
- Click Link GitHub Account and authorize access.
Once the account is linked, the section shows your GitHub username and the Unlink GitHub Account button. If Faaaster's GitHub app isn't installed yet, a message invites you to install it, with the Install App button.
Link the account or install the app?
The two steps don't do the same thing:
What it unlocks | |
|---|---|
Link GitHub Account | Faaaster can list your repositories so you can pick one from a selector, instead of pasting a URL by hand. |
Install App | Gives access to your private repositories. Without it, only your public repositories are visible. |
If your repositories are private — the usual case — you need both.
Connect a repository to a site
🔜 Coming soon — connecting a repository to an existing site, from the site's screen, is coming soon. In the meantime, contact support to connect a repository to your site.
Trigger a deployment
Deployment happens on push to the configured branch. The interface reminds you as long as this isn't set up: "Please setup the webhook on your GitHub repository and push a commit to the branch to enable the integration."
Each deployment then appears in the site's Events tab, under the label Git push.
Detach
🔜 Coming soon — detaching a repository from the site's screen is coming soon. In the meantime, contact support to detach a repository.
⚠️ Test on a development environment before connecting production. A bad push deploys just as fast as a good one.
