Connect to a Repo

Code Capsules connects to your version control provider to deploy applications from your repositories. You need to give Code Capsules permission to access the repository you want to use.

To connect a Capsule to your repository:

1. Select the repository from the dropdown. If you haven't yet linked your Code Capsules account to a version control provider, click Configure Git for Code Capsules and follow the prompts.

2. Select the branch to deploy from.

3. Select the folder the Capsule will build from, or leave this field blank to build from the root of the branch.

Connect a Repository

Configure the Capsule

Capsule-specific settings depend on the type of Capsule you're creating. For example, if you're adding a Frontend Capsule, you'll specify a build command, the path to the project's static files, and a name.

Click Create Capsule to complete the setup.
