How To Upload a Website From Github

Deploy a website from GitHub


Connect your GitHub account and deploy straight from a repository. Every push updates your live site automatically.


Before you start: we deploy from your build or dist folder, not from your source files. Make sure your build output is committed and pushed, or your site will publish empty.


Connect and deploy

  1. Click the GitHub icon on your dashboard and complete authentication. GitHub will ask which repositories to give us access to — you can grant all, or pick specific ones.
  2. Your repositories appear once authentication finishes. Click Resync if a new one isn't showing.
  3. Click the repository you want to host. Give your link a name, or let one be generated.
  4. Click Deploy.

Your site is live.


Publishing to a custom domain

Use the domain dropdown next to the link-name field and pick your custom domain instead.
It needs to be connected and validated first — see Connecting a Domain You Already Own.


Updating your site

Push a commit and we'll pick it up automatically — there's nothing to click here. Just remember the build folder rule above.


Changing which repositories we can see

Repository access is controlled from GitHub, not from us: GitHub → Settings → Applications → Tiiny Host → Configure. Revoking access there disconnects the integration.


My site deployed but it's blank

Nine times out of ten this is the build folder. Check your build or dist folder is committed and pushed, then click Resync and deploy again.
