Step 1: Connect Git Repo

The first step in deploying your web application is to connect your Git repository. EdgeOne Pages seamlessly integrates with version control platforms, enabling smooth synchronization between your development workflow and the deployment process.

To connect your repository:

• Register/Login: You can quickly register using your Gmail account.
• Get Started: Click on Get Started on the homepage.

• Bind Github: In the console page, click Bind Github to link your repository.

• Authorize Github: Grant Edgeone permission to access your repository.

• Select Repository: Choose the repository you want to deploy or authorize all repositories.

Step 2: Customize Build

Once your repository is connected, you'll need to configure your build settings. This step is crucial for ensuring that your project is compiled and prepared correctly for deployment.

To customize your build:

• Select Repository: Click on the repository you want to deploy.

• Enter Build Command: Enter your build command. If unsure, check the build value in the scripts section of your package.json.

Step 3: Deploy Globally

With your repository connected and build settings configured, you're ready to deploy your application globally.

To initiate deployment:

• Review your settings to ensure everything is correct.
• Start Deployment: Click Start Deployment.

• EdgeOne Pages will automatically build your project and deploy it to its global edge network.

When new commits are pushed to the deployment branch, Edgeone will automatically pull and deploy the latest changes.

By following these steps, you can quickly and easily deploy your web application using EdgeOne Pages, taking advantage of its powerful edge network and streamlined workflow.

Handling Unexpected Situations:

• If the deployed version differs from the repository or changes are not reflected, ensure the latest version is pulled.

• For any issues, contact us through the feedback option in the bottom right corner.

How to Improve Deployment Success Rate:

• We provide templates for most mainstream front-end frameworks. You can develop using our templates and then deploy.
• After authorizing Github, select a template.

• Set the type for the new template repository, then click Create to create it on Github.

• After you select a template, we will create a repository on your GitHub account based on that template. The deployment process will start automatically. You can then clone this repository to your local machine for further development and push changes as needed.
