How it works

Check out our full step by step guide on creating your first package

Getting setup

1. Login via Github via OAuth and give us access to see your Github repositories
2. Create an APT or YUM PKG Deploy repository to host the packages you create
3. Add one of your git repositories as a project in PKG Deploy
4. Create config files with instructions on how to build and deploy your code

Creating packages

1. Trigger a build by creating a git tag - this can be done by creating a release in Github
2. We pick up the new tag and start building the packages specified in your config files
3. At the end of each build we upload the packages to the private repository you created before
4. Packages are stored in GPG verifiable repositories

Deploying packages

1. Add the package repo on the machine you want to install packages on via the provided installer
2. Use APT or Yum to list all of the packages in your package repository
3. Install any of your packages and their dependencies via APT or Yum
4. The package manager will automatically verify repository metadata and packages for you
