GitHub Integration

Connect your GitHub repository to deploy automatically from pushes and merges. It replaces manual deployment steps and keeps your workflow continuous.

With GitHub integration, you can:

• Import a GitHub repository to create and deploy a new Globe project
• Automatically trigger deployments on every push
• Designate a production branch for live releases
• Connect existing Globe projects to GitHub
• Disconnect or switch repositories anytime
• View deployment status for each commit

How to Connect Your GitHub Repository

1. Authorize GitHub Access

• From the Globe dashboard, go to Projects → Create Project
• Select Connect your GitHub account and authorize the Globe GitHub App
• You'll be redirected back to the Project Create screen afterward

2. Choose Repositories

After authorizing the GitHub app, you will need to configure the repositories that are available to Globe:

• Select Configure the GitHub app.
• Select specific or all repositories you want Globe to access.
• You will be redirected to the Project Create screen.

3. Import & Configure

• Select Import next to the repo you want to use
• Configure the following:
  • Import settings: organization, name, root directory, branch
  • Build settings: framework preset, build command, entry point
  • Build config: SDK version, build runner, Melos
  • Environment variables
• Select Deploy to trigger the first deployment

From now on, every time you push to GitHub, Globe will automatically create a new deployment:

• For your production branch, a production deployment is created
• For all other branches, a preview deployment is triggered

Connecting an Existing Project

If you've already deployed a project (e.g., via CLI):

1. Open the project → Go to Settings → Git
2. Select Connect and choose your repository
3. Set deployment configurations as needed

Deployment Workflow

The GitHub integration enables automatic deployments based on your repository activity:

• Preview Deployments: Triggered by pushes to any branch except your production branch
• Production Deployments: Triggered by pushes to your designated production branch
• Commit Status: Globe adds deployment status indicators to your GitHub commits

Disconnecting a GitHub Repository

To stop automatic deployments:

1. Go to your project → Settings → Git
2. Select Disconnect

Best Practices

• Use a clear branching strategy (e.g., main for production, dev for testing)
• Protect your production branch if collaborating in teams
• Consider pairing this with the CLI for local preview builds
• Only connect necessary repositories for clarity and security. Follow the principle of least privilege
